Seems like the nvidia card is the primary card then. Applications play
sounds only through one card at a time. Did you try changing the audio
device in the application?

Since the nforce sounds worse than the audigy I disabled my on-board
sound. Most applications are happier when there's only one sound device
to choose from ;)

I'm using an audigy card on an nforce4 board in FC4 x86-64 without
problems.
