Changing default soundcard

Hi,
I have two cards installed on my system and I would like to change to my other one. How do I do that and set that as default?

Do you tried search here: Configuration/Set the default sound card ?

Re: Changing default soundcard

An alternative is to use the named default soundcard method described in this alsa wiki faq, i.e. list the sound cards

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf9ff8000 irq 30
 1 [U0x46d0x804    ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
                      USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.2, high speed
 2 [SAA7134        ]: SAA7134 - SAA7134
                      saa7133[0] at 0xfebff000 irq 17

then set the default by name in /etc/asound.conf:

$ cat /etc/asound.conf 
# use "Intel" as default device
# (from /proc/asound/cards)
#
#

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