When using more than one sound card, the order could change when
rebooting. A culprit could be that a dedicated device is expected as
default card hw:0, but after rebooting the other card became hw:0.

An /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf could give the cards consistent
device numbers, by reserving a position.

Even with my ice cards unmounted, an USB device would become hw:3.

[root at moonstudio ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 
# ALSA module ordering
options snd slots=snd_hdspm,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1712

So in your case

options snd slots=snd_ca0106

would make this card always hw:0, you even don't need to reserve a
position for the other card or cards.

If you shouldn't need an onboard card at all, because you prefer to use
another card, consider to disable it by the BIOS settings.

Regards,
Ralf
