Subject: Howto select sound card 10.04

My boss, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to install a smartboard in my PC lab/classroom. I don't think he understands that I've been screencasting and smartboarding for years already just using a remote bluetooth tablet (Wacom Graphire 6x8) and wireless lapel FM mic.

Anyway, my question is: how do you select the PC sound card instead of the internal speakers on the mother board? I ask because the smartboad attaches to a PC via audio/video/ethernet and the audio cable attaches to the sound card. So, in Wimpoze we get sound from the nice new smartboard speakers in the front of the room but in Linux we get sound from the itty bitty internal PC speakers in the back of the room!

Sorry for such a silly question, but I can't find the setting to change on the Gnome desktop on my 10.04 Desktop Edition dual boot PC for my life!

TIA,
