[ale] Default Soundcard in SuSE 9.1 Pro

[Ryan Williams]

This is probably a total newbie question, but I am having the hardest 
time configuring my sound with SuSE 9.1 Pro. I have a PCI Audiophile 
24/96 card in addition to my stock card on the ABit Mobo. I want the 
Audiophile card to be the default soundcard for the system sound so 
that I can play my MP3 library out of it. When I run YaST and go to 
Hardware->Soundcard, it detects both cards and correctly identifies the 
Audiophile card as using the Envy24 chip driver. I can even go to 
"Volume" and hit "Test" and hear sound perfectly. However, I can find 
no way to make my system sound play out of that card.

I looked into the SuSE user documentation and it references 
configuration options that SuSE isn't giving me in YaST. I even tried 
to run the Envy24 Mixer via the command line (envy24control &) and it 
told me that it could not run using an Nivida chipset... which also 
leads me to believe that the whole system is still looking toward the 
built-in soundcard.

I know there must be something simple I am missing here. Any help is 
appreciated!

Thanks!
