[SOLVED] multiple sound cards?

Why i have two sounds cards in my system?

bagheera@tux:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xfa400000 irq 53
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfa080000 irq 17

i don't have /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf file.

My modbo is Asus P8H67-M EVO R3.0 and video card is GeForce GTX 460.

nvidia card has 4 spdif channels. Is that 4 hdmi outputs in my GFX card? In fact it is 2xDVI an 1xhdmi

Re: [SOLVED] multiple sound cards?

My system is similar;

[ninez@ninez ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xf9f78000 irq 21
 1 [NVidia_1       ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfbffc000 irq 19

I'm pretty sure the 2nd device is HDMI, but i haven't used it anyway, as i use an external audio interface.
