Yeah, I have found another way to solve this issue :)

The following mail on ubuntu-devel gave me a hint:

As far as I undestand, in gnome-sound-preferences the Pulseaudio server should be selected instead of the desired playback device, which I did before. After setting everything to pulseaudio, all sounds from any applications where played by the secondary card, so now I had to find away to convince Pulseaudio to choose the Intel card instead. What helped here was

- editing /etc/pulse/default.pa
- uncommenting the line 'set-default-sink' and adding the name of the Intel card instead of 'output'

So sound is working now properly, but to me it seems that this is a regression compared to previous versions of Ubuntu, since there is no easy and obvious way to select the default sound card anymore, if you have more than one sound devices.

Kind regards,
Jan
