Ok David. Don't give up on the sonicvibes card just yet.

As you've now made the changes to /etc/modprobe.conf. please post your 
current /etc/modprobe.conf, also the output of cat /proc/asound/cards, which 
should now show 2 cards, the sonicvibes one as card0, and the intel one as 
card1.

What did you get from running alsamixer on the CLI (konsole)? Did you get 
mixer settings for the sonicvibes card?

And starting alsamixer as "alsamixer -c 1" (without the quotes), did you get 
mixer settings for the intel card?

What music app are you using to test your soundcard?

Running speaker-test should produce some pink noise out of your speakers, as 
long as the speakers are connected to the soundcard. To cancel the 
speaker-test use ctrl + c.

I've also posted to the alsa-user list to see if there are any known problems 
with snd-sonicvibes driver, and also did a bit of googling. the card looks 
like it should work OOTB.

It's annoying not to have sounds. My audigy2 soundblaster works ok, and on the 
other machine the ensoniq card also works, but it's frustrating when you 
can't get your card to produce sounds.
