Setting Default Sound Card in Ubuntu/Kubuntu

I too was vexed by this problem. My preferred soundcard is my SBLive! but I use the VIA chipset based soundcard on my motherboard for VoIP stuff. Kubuntu was always making my VIA soundcard the default.

The solution is a bit obscure but it works.

Do:

sudo asoundconf list

I got back:

Names of available sound cards:
Live
V8237

I then did:

sudo asoundconf set-default-card Live

followed by a reboot to test.

Sure enough, the Live is now set to default. It’d be nice if there was a simple config app in the KDE configuration panel that did this.
