Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Hello,
I am using two sound cards on my system, the Intel HDA onboard device for primary playback and a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live Value card for Skype etc. . On previous versions of Ubuntu it was quite easy to configure which should be the default playback device for all "normal" things.
But on my up to date Hardy amd64 installation both the system sounds that can be configured at System -> Settings -> Audio -> Sounds and sound output from the Adobe flash plugin are redirected to the Creative card, no matter what I do.
I have set the Intel card as default at System -> Settings -> Audio and also with the command 'asoundconf set-default-card Intel', I even assigned a low priority to the Creative card at /etc/modprobe.
The only thing that resolves at least the issue with Flash is to kill the pulseaudio server, so I suppose this might be a problem somehow related to pulseaudio.
Kind regards,
Jan

You might want to install one of the various toos available for pulseaudio to force it to use a particular sound card. Otherwise, it just uses the first card it finds.
