Hi,
I have two sound cards, one on board, and other 5.1 pci.
When the system start seams that recognize the two sound cards, but the music software use the onboard one, how can I ennabled the 5.1 pci sound card.
Thanks

Just determine which one sounds best and disable/remove the other one. Spares you an IRQ or two

You will most likely need to disable the onboard sound in the bios and then I'm guessing you'll need to use the alsa.dsl from the repository to get the 5.1 card working.

For DSL 0.8 through 1.5 and version 2.2, download and install the alsadebs.dsl extension.

For DSL 2.0 through 2.1, download and install the alsa.dsl extension.
