I have been trying many things to get the sound to work (basically getting applications to use the PCH sound card instead of HDMI). The only effective way so far has been in the applications themselves. I can select the correct card in Skype and then use the speakers and microphone and I can select it in VNC. I have not found a way to select it in Chrome or VirtualBox. What I really need is a way to set it permanently so I don't have to go into each applications settings.Some error occurred while attempting to load your sound drivers. Please try again. If this error persists, you may need to reboot in order to restore functionality for all of your sound devices.
Please send me your recommendations to get my sound working for all applications from boot up.
Here are some details on my system:
