[ale] Sound not working in Jaunty

I  problem is complicated by having two sound cards.  I had to put the 
SB Live card in to get sound working on Hardy.   Everything looks just 
wonderful.  All the modules are there and the  alsa-info.sh script 
doesn't report anything out of the ordinary.  I just get (almost) no sound.

I haven't figured out how to tell the various utilities which card to 
use so I keep bouncing back and forth.  Guess I should hook up two 
speakers.

Anyway I say "Almost" because the little bobbldee beep when Ubuntu 
starts up is produced.  However nothing else every works.  I did a cat 
/dev/random >/dev/audio and a cat /dev/random >/dev/dsp and heard 
nothing.  I have no idea what to do next.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
