Hi,
I have two sound cards, the one on my motherboard and the one attached by PCI. I wish to use the PCI one by default.
00:1f.5 and 02:01.0 are my sound cards:

And in alsamixer the card is not muted. The output of `aplay -l':

So I would like to know where I can select the sound card that should be used.
Thanks for your help!

Check out the following link

Thanks for the link.
I created the ~/.asoundrc file and copied the following lines into it, since I want Card #1, that is my second card, to be default:
--------
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
--------
However after rebooting the sound is still not working. Did I put the wrong thing in my asoundrc?

When you open alsamixer is sound card 1 listed?
Volumes are up, nothings muted?
Your .asoundrc worked for me,put it in /home/tux
Plugged in logitech usb headset,it has a built-in sound card chipset.
Logged out/into account tux.
Alsaplayer outputs audio to my usb headset and alsamixer controls it instead of the motherboard IntelHDA soundcard to speakers.

Here's the output of my .asoundrc, maybe try with this and see if it works:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 1
defaults.ctl.card 1

Thank you very much for your replies, at the moment I would love to try your suggestions but forgetting about this thread I decided to simply remove the kernel modules for my unwanted sound card - still no sound from the Sound Blaster live! Value card though. Doesn't looks like anything's muted, cable's plugged in and it works in Kubuntu. I removed my ~/.asoundrc file.

@searchfgold6789, can you post output from 'lsmod' and 'cat /proc/asound/devices' commands?

I would try....
aplay -D hw:0,[n] test.wav - where n is either 0,1 or 2 and test.wav is any sound file in wav format.
I suspect sound is routed to the midi device which is hw:0,0

None of those commands seem to do anything:
