Default Sound card


I have two sound cards on my computer, onboard and my SBLive. Everytime I boot up the onboard sound is being used. I used alsaconf to choose my SBLive but I have to do that every reboot. I want my SBLive to be the default sound card used. I even tried editing /etc/modprobe.d/sound but that gets over-written on reboot also. How can I have my SBLive as default without disabling the onboard in the bios?

The onboard sound can probably be disabled in the BIOS

You can also blacklist the module for your on-board card, so it isn't loaded. That's what I had to do, because disabling the on-board device in the BIOS made no difference whatsoever :/.
