It is a shame that asoundconf setting, Sound Preferences (for keyboard volume 
change), Gnome Volume Control and Gnome Volume Applet (for mouse volume change) 
aren't connected and doesn't change automatically to active sound card.
Another point is that it is best to use mixer PCM with integrated Intel sound 
card and Master with my Audigy2 for volume change but Gnome sound preferences 
doesn't save this per card so it have to be changed on every start with or 
without the external card by hand.
I don't know but if it happens only on my system but if Audigy2 was the last 
active card after start without it sound works but Alsa doesn't so only one 
program can access sound card (through oss emulation I guess). This could be 
fixed through activating integrated sound card with asoundconf.
I have made a userspace script for this issue. With it the correct sound card 
is activated, it is possible to change according mixer volume with keyboard and 
with Gnome volume applet.
Of course everyone has to change settings according to his hardware 
configuration.

Wishlist:
Asoundconf (Alsa), Gnome Sound Preferences, Gnome Volume Control and Gnome 
Volume Applet should be connected so that one activation with asoundconf is 
enough and used default mixer (for volume change through keyboard and with 
applet) should be saved per card. The best way gnome volume manager applet uses 
the same settings like gnome sound preferences so there is no unneeded double 
configuration and the preference got it from Alsa or something like that.
