soundcard problem

Hi,

I have an Audigy2 and recently got a Hauppauge WinTV Nova S plus.
So far so good, everything worked fine.
Earlier I tried MythTV and after installing it and configuring it (following the archwiki) I used it for a little while.
I came to the conclusion that I don't like it, so I removed it again.
And now comes the problem.
Since I removed it, for some reason, somehow, my Audigy2 isn't the default card anymore, but my dvb-s,
thus artsd fails with "can't create mcop directory" after creating a link /root/.kde/socket-bla and I have no sound.
It's been established on IRC that it isn't an alsa problem and creating a file .asoundrc containing

pcm.!default { type hw card 1
}
ctl.!default { type hw card 1
}

is a quick fix.

However, I'd like to get back the original state with the Audigy2 being the default.

cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CX8801 ]: CX88x - Conexant CX8801
Conexant CX8801 at 0xf4000000
1 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350]
Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] (rev.4, serial:0x20021102) at 0xdf00, irq 23
cat /proc/asound/modules
0 cx88_alsa
1 snd_emu10k1

There are also two symlinks(socket-files?) called Audigy2 and CX8801 pointing to card1 and card0 in /proc/asound/

I tried reinstalling alsa-utils and libs and ran alsaconf but it didn't help.
If you can help me and need more info let me know.

Thank you

Well, that should be easy: simply list those modules in your desired order in MODULES (rc.conf)

Thanks byte, the Audigy2 is default again, however there's still one little annoyance.
In KMix the dvb-s is still default, meaning, if I click on the little speaker, it displays the capture mixer of the dvb-s,
but when I then choose Mixer, it shows the Audigy mixer settings.
Any idea on how to change this?
