If using a 2.6 kernel then in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory check to see where the alias is set on my install it is the sound file. Edit the file to look similar to this. alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx options snd-via82xx index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=1 Changing the drivers to match your install putting the onboard sound module in the lines with 0 in them and your pci card module in the lines with 1. Now when booting modutils will process the file and the drivers should be loaded in the correct order. If using a 2.4 kernel then check in the /etc/modutils/aliases file and see if that is where your sound card is being set. If so then add the couple of lines for the second card and make sure your onboard is set to the 0 then run update-modules to have the new information entered in the /etc/modules.conf for use on next boot if not then check the other files to see where it is located and make the changes there.
