The basis of the problem is you have to change which sound card is being used. How to do this depends on whether you are using a gui or something else. I know next to nothing about pulse audio so I can't help with directions directly for that. But if you're using KDE you can open your "K" menu -> system settings -> multimedia -> phonon -> Audio Hardware setup tab, which should have a drop down for selecting your audio card. Any sound applications running may need to be restarted. You may have to install phonon first. screenshot
