Are they turned on in pulse?  Install pavucontrol if it isn't already
installed, and fire it up.  Look at the default device.  Is it the
device you want to have as default, the AMD card, and not the hdmi
device?

So, if you set the AMD card as your default in pavucontrol, your
problem should be solved.

The other thing is that each time that the computer boots, devices are
loaded in random order, unless you put a file in /etc/modprobe.d.  I
use the name soundcard.conf for the file, and this is what I have in
it.  You should be able to modify this for your needs.

options snd cards_limit=8
options slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-ice1724,snd-ca0106,snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel id="SB"
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-ca0106 id="CA0106"
options snd-ca0106 index=1
alias snd-card-2 snd-ice1724 id="Revolution51"
options snd-ice1724 index=2
#alias snd-card-3 snd-cmipci
#options snd_cmipci index=3
alias snd-card-3 snd-hda-intel id="HDMI"
options snd-hda-intel index=3
alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=7

Set the AMD sound device as say, device 3, and make it the default in
pavucontrol, and you should be consistent across boots.

The trouble for you is that both of your devices are snd-hda-intel.
There is probably a way to qualify them further in the options slots
line, but I don't know it.  So, you might still end up with random
order after a boot even with the file in place.  You might be able to
turn off the hdmi device in pavucontrol if you don't use it, and have
only the AMD available, which finesses the problem.

This should get you closer, at least.
