Hi,

you can set a default soundcard in ALSA if you have more than one (you seem to, but globally I feel your message is not very clear). To do that, open a Terminal (in menu "Applications" -> "Accessories" -> "Terminal"), then, type these commands in the terminal :

asoundconf list

Then you will see a list of your soundcards detected. For example, on my machine I get :

Names of available sound cards:
Intel
VIA

then, still in the terminal, type :

sudo asoundconf set-default-card <the_card>

Replacing <the_card> with one of the names provided by your "asounsconf list". Then the choosen card should STAY the default, even accross reboots.

For the sound in firefox, I don't know how to handle that issue, I don't use sound (nor flash) in Firefox, sorry.

regards,
Olivier
