lspci -l |grep -i audio: 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) 05:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series] I actually stopped using Debian for about a year because of this, but I insist of finding a solution. The problem: from a stock install the ATI Audio device becomes card 0 and is the default audio device. The problem is that is my Video card and I am not using video out for anything but running my monitor. I have searched for a solution and only have a partial one now: in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf I added to the bottom of the list: blacklist snd_hda_intel blacklist snd_hda_codec_atihdmi This stops the ATI HD hdmidi card from being "seen". My Nvidia AC97 is now card 0 and is detected by alsamixergui (or any other system mixer) instead of the ATI card. However, system sound effects are not heard even though the "speaker" in gnome is not muted (as it was with the ATI card). If I go into /usr/share/sounds/ and open a file with "move player" totem plays the file but no sound is heard. If I do the same thing with vlc, config vlc to use explicitly ALSA audio output, it can play the sound file. I have install pulse audio and I no longer need to select an output mode in the vlc config (gui) to hear sound files. I still can not use "movie player" (totem), banshi, or rythembox to play music with. I am at a loss as to how to get my box to just use my Nvidia AC97 audio card and hear system sounds, play music, etc etc except by using only vlc.
