Re: [PLUG] Playback on Creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook

[Matthew Rosewarne <mukidohime@case.edu>]

There's no need to monkey with the BIOS, this can and should be handed by 
ALSA.  If you want it to be the default for the whole system, add the text 
to /etc/asound.conf, or if you just want it for a certain user put it in 
$HOME/.asoundrc

        pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
        }

        ctl.!default {
        type hw           
        card 0
        }

You must replace the "card 0" with the card number of your Audigy.  You can 
find that by looking in /proc/asound/cards.  You can test it with the command
aplay -D default <some .wav file>

And if you absolutely don't want your on-board sound to ever be available, add 
the name of the module for it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.  You can find the 
modules used by soundcards in /proc/asound/modules.
