Description Pavel Nemec 2007-11-23 12:29:22 UTC 
I have two cards in my computer. Internal Intel HDA
│ Card: HDA Intel │
│ Chip: SigmaTel STAC9221 A1

and external Soundblaster live. 
I set to use Soundlbaster and remove configuration for Interl card. Anyway alsamixer, kmix and amarok use second unconfigured card.

Note that Intel card is not configured and should not be used at all.
Comment 2 Ladislav Slezák 2007-11-26 14:06:03 UTC 
The yast module removes the configuration for the second card, the problem is that the driver is automatically loaded by hotplug/udev. The card (it's driver) have to be blacklisted to be really disabled. This is missing functionality.

Workaround is to configure both cards and set the preferred card as the primary card (Other -> Set as the Primary Card). Primary card has index 0, it's the default sound card.

This problem will be solved by the new configuration options, see bug #381695.
