Two questions...
First, I've got two sound cards in my system:
ICH4 845G/GL Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller
0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 at 0xffaff800, irq 17
Module: snd-intel8x0
Sound Blaster AudioPCI64V/AudioPCI128
1 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xdc00, irq 18
Module: snd-ens1371
The first "sound card", number 0, is on the motherboard. I can't
get it to load as card number 1. /etc/modules.conf makes no
difference in this regard. "snd-card-0" and "sound-slot-0" seem
to be ignored. I've tried lots of variants in modules.conf to get
this to work, and tried various orders. Here's a simple case:
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
Is there a way to get this to work?
My second question might be related to the first. If I disable
the on-board sound card, then all but one sound related thing
works for me. Audio in/out works, MIDI in/out works, speakers
work. Playing a CD does not produce sound no matter what the
application (cdp, Kscd, xmcd). If I enable the on-board sound,
then I can play CDs fine, but the output comes out of the
on-board sound card. I'd like to reroute the CD sound to come
out of the SoundBlaster PCI sound card. How can I do this?
Thanks....
FWIW, my loaded sound related modules are these:
snd-seq-midi 6176 0
snd-seq-oss 27648 0
snd-seq-midi-event 4480 2 snd-seq-midi,snd-seq-oss
snd-seq 40592 5 snd-seq-midi,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event
snd-ens1371 17508 0
snd-pcm-oss 45992 0
snd-mixer-oss 16384 1 snd-pcm-oss
snd-intel8x0 26572 0
snd-ac97-codec 57936 2 snd-ens1371,snd-intel8x0

There should be a cable that runs from your CD player (audio out) to
some spot on your mobo for audio. Disconnect it from your mobo and
connect it to your sound card. It's usually pretty obvious where to
connect it.

Bingo! (BIG DUH, on my part :-/) Thanks Jan!
I've got all I want now from my SoundBlaster card. It does bother me
some that I couldn't get the cards to load correctly, but I suppose
that's just the way it is.
Thanks again....

I assume that your Linux system uses the hotplug scripts to initialize
PCI, usb and other modern bus devices. Thus the hotplug scripts react to
the kernel detecting components and mostly the kernel reports the
Mainboard chipset features first. If you want to change the order of
your soundcards you have to tweak your hotplug system. I would suggest
you try the following.
Add those devices which correspond to your two soundcards to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist. Note that your real soundcard drivers should
suffice here (like snd_sb*, no need to put the generic ones like snd_pcm
in here). If you reboot your system you can check with "lsmod" that no
soundcard specific drivers have been loaded.
Next you can load those manually in your boot script, I would suggest
you add them to /etc/init.d/rc.local (this could be slightly different
depending on your linux distri). Here you load the soundcards drivers
with "modprobe" in your desired order.

That was something I tried. It didn't work. I didn't explore the
hotplug issue, and maybe that is important.

Add "index" options:
options snd-ens1371 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=1
