Do you have 2 soundcards? such as an onboard one and an added
sundblaster for example.

If so then the onboard one is detected first as it lies first on the
pci bus and is set as the primary sound card. There are a couple of
ways to sort this, which are quote fiddley in hoary and warty. The
easiest method - if you dont use the onboard one for anything is
simply to dissable it in the bios. If you need to have access to both
then search for configuring 2 sound cards in linux. I got mine sorted
a while ago but then reinstalled and couldnt be bothered to mess
around again so just dissabled it. From Breezy onwards you can select
which card is to be the primary one in the sound preferences of Gnome,
but im not sure if it applies those setings to the whole system or
just to those programs that use ESD for sound.
