I think that you should check to see if you can disable it in your bios (the onboard one) or see the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf and maybe there is a module being loaded for your sound card (on board) and you can disable it there. I would look at the bios first.If you don't want to disable the first card (my case because it is my webcam : usb_audio)
For the programs which use alsa with the "default" card, you can change it in the ~/asound.rc (or /etc/alsa.conf), example :
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
} ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}You can also try to modify /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, but I think it's more dangerous...
I've make the following change : defaults.ctl.card 0 defaults.pcm.card 0 to defaults.ctl.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1
And all hw:0,0 to hw:1,0
It's work quite well... I only kept a error in some soft (mplayer) about /dev/mixer ?
If someone have more explanation...

Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. I have two sound cards: a built-in one and a PCI one.
2. I am using wine and it uses the built-in sound card, but I want it to use PCI one. Also, I would like to know how to make it so that the PCI card remains the primary, or to uninstall the built-in sound card.
3. Thank you for your time.
