ALSA: Change the default soundcard from ATI card with HDMI sound to installed soundcard
Raw
ATI_HDMI.md

Problem.

System has a creative sound card and an ATI gfx card which has a sound card for audio over HDMI. ATI HDMI is the default sound card.

Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf with contents[1]

options snd-hda-intel index=1,0

Reboot.

Order should now be correct:

aplay -l
