Someone in the forums shared this with me and it seems to fix the problem:

Locate the module names of your sound cards with:

less /proc/asound/modules

mine was:

0 snd_emu10k1
1 snd_ice1712

In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base replace:

install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd-card-1

with:

install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd_ice1712
install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd_emu10k1

or the other way depending on which card you want as the default (sound-slot-0)
