Hi Jeremy. It may be worth getting the Audigy ZS to load first, making it the 
default card. su to root, and open a text editor, and go 
to. /etc/modprobe.conf  . You will see some alias and options lines for the 
soundcards. Comment them out putting a # infront of them. Don't comment out 
the alias for the network card, or any "remove" lines that are there.

Add the following lines, a couple of lines down from the last entry. Make sure 
you start a new line without any spaces at the beginning, and at the end of 
each line just enter, again with no extra spaces at the end of the lines.

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-via82xx
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-card-1 index=1

Change the via one, for what it looks like there at the mo, then save, close 
the text editor, and exit the shell. Shut down, and reboot, leaving the claw 
hammer out of the way.

I've only got the Audigy2 soundblaster active on my machine, having disabled 
the onboard one with the jumpers on the mobo. It may be worth disabling the 
onboard one in the BIOS if the option is there, or doing as I did if there 
are jumpers for it on your mobo, and you have the manual for it.

Anyway see what you get after the reboot.  

Nigel.
