Hello,

I plugged in a C-Media 7.1 sound card in the BBB with Ubuntu 13.04 (SD card 
boot).
Everything looks allright but there is no sound.
Also the C-Media didn't become the default sound driver.

Please help.

I did the following:

Step 1:
ubuntu@arm:~$ sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-oss

ubuntu@arm:~$

=================================================================================
Step 2:
ubuntu@arm:~/media$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

...
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
# Set sound cards
options snd cards-limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-black
alias snd-card-1 snd-cmedia
options snd slots=snd-cmedia,snd-black

=================================================================================
Step 3: reboot

Step 4:
ubuntu@arm:~$ alsamixer
