Switched from DVI to HDMI, I can't get audio over analog! [SOLVED]

I want to use my onboard audio instead of the HDMI ATI audio (I'm using catalyst if that helps), but it seems to have all but disappeared as an option. For example, KMix now only allows me to switch mixers between my webcam mic, HDA ATI SB, and HD-Audio Generic (S/PDIF). In the Phonon audio setup, if I test hw:1,0, sound comes out of my headphones like it should, so I put it on top of each list in Playback, and HDA ATI SB below that since that works too... but why, my headphones are hooked up to the motherboard, not the graphics card? I'm just so confused right now.

EDIT: Solution is to set up the default sound card as specified here.

What is the output of "aplay -l" in a terminal?

And check out the ALSA Wiki and the Pulse Wiki. Almost all of the problems and their solutions can be found within

card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC889 Analog [ALC889 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC889 Digital [ALC889 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Also, result of speaker-test:

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

Let's see if setting up asound.conf fixes it... EDIT: That did it!

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 1
