Hi again, late follow up. But I thought I'd share when I found the
reason for my troubles.
It seems the preferred sound card was the built-in or NVIDIA card,
when I changed
the preferred sound card to the Razor Megalodon, it did change the
preferred sound
card, but I could last week see that applications were still set to
using the initial preferred
sound card.
If the initial sound card gets selected by the distro or installer, I
guess it is confusing
for a user if they change the sound card and nothing happens, or sound
is partially
working in some apps.
Regards,
Morten

If you must use nVidia drivers there is a much easier way to do it than you write
about in your blog. The fine folks over at RPMfusion have made it as simply enabling
their repositories and typing "dnf install akmod-nvidia" for all the newer
generation
cards.
The "preferred" sound card can easily be accessed in F26 from the taskbar.
Clicking
on the speaker icon will show "Playback Devices" and the "hamburger"
icon brings up a
menu to select the default device. This is the same in all distros since this all
comes from
kde.org.
