I would expect it to recognize and make use of both. Are you sure it isn't
doing that?
I've never found any rhyme or reason to which card ends up hw:0 and which
hw:1, so the only way I know to guarantee that something will be hw:0 is to
make it the only card on the system. In your case, you can probably
accomplish that by going into your BIOS configuration, and disabling the
built-in Intel sound chip. That will leave just the one for the auto
configuration scripts to find and load a driver for, and it will end up as
hw:0, where everything expects to find it.

I am not terrible experienced, so just take this as a possibility and
something to look into. Having had similar problems in the past, I
found the solution in turning off or removing the offending extra
hardware. In the case of built-in sound, you should be able to disable
the onboard sound. When you do that, your add-on card should take
over. If not, it is probably an installation or driver problem. If
you can't find an approved alternate driver, try different drivers for
other of your soundcard type. Somehow when the problem has occurred, I
have been able to solve the problem using this technique. Like I said,
I am not very knowledgeable, but I had sound problems, and now my sound
works even better than when it was supporting the XP OS.<br>

Hope it helps.<br>
