[SOLVED] Restoring preferred sound card after reboot

Hello,

My computer has two sound cards: one is on motherboard, and another on ATI video card. Here is Kmix dialog for selecting the sound card:

I want to use the intrinsic card, but after reboot the ATI card (Turks) is always selected. How do I fix it?

Kubuntu 14.04/3.13.0-35

lspci output:

Code:

...

If you look at the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (or something like that), you'll see that the last line prevents usb sound from being loaded first. Add a similar new line that prevents the sound device you don't want from being loaded first, and that should work.

But how to find out a name of this device?

Sorry I forgot that bit: you use
cat /proc/asound/modules
