Hi Charlie.  Just a thought.. have you considered disabling the onboard
audio device in the CMOS setup?  This is assuming you don't actually
use the onboard device.

Also, I have found most of my multimedia apps tend to let me choice
which device to use.  Usually it's under the advanced configuration.  I
know this is the case in Audacious, for example.  I have noticed that
the Xfce Sound panel under Settings Manager lists a 'default' sound
device.  I assume you can denote one as 'default'.  I only have one
audio device, so I'm not sure how that functionality works.

Hope some of these thoughts may help you.

Cheers,
