how to select/ activate sound card?

hey Slitaz community,

i'm running Slitaz 3.0 base on my via epia-v. because of the really poor onboard sound i installed a creative labs soundblaster sb0410 card.

problem: no sound from the card, still from onboard.

in the responded list of

#lspci

i can find the sound card under 00:14.0. So the card seem to work and is detected by the system. what i noticed is that at the end of the sound card's line there is no (rev ..) which is everywhere else in the entries.

in /proc/asound/cards there is just the onboardchip listed.

what do i have to do to get my card into the /proc/asound/cards list (which for me seems to be the key to get it run)?

thanks for your support,

greez djego (beginner)

Disable the built-in sound card in the motherboard bios.

or

Follow this tutorial to make an asoundrc file to configure another sound card as default:

Re: how to select/ activate sound card?

thank you, mojo . it was that easy!

disabling the built-in card, boot, selecting my new card in the appearing menu and done.

i just didn't find the fitting bios entry for onboard sound on the first run, that's why i asked here.
