I have two sound cards. one on my motherboard and one in a PCI slot. I am running mandrake 9.2 Both cards are detected but the system is using the one on the motherboard and I want to use the one that I have in the PCI slot. How do I tell linux which sound card I want to use? Do I have to somehow disable the soundcard on the motherboard?
 
I think that, if possible, I would disable the motherboard sound-card in BIOS as a first step regardless. There's not point having hardware active in your system, taking up IRQs and IO ports, unless you're going to use it.
