They are probably showing up as different codecs... In which case you
have to either select the correct pcmX device or set
hw.snd.default_unit=3DX to the correct codec.  Gnome currently doesn't
seem to have the ability to deal with multiple codecs for different
outputs, which kinda sucks...

Most of my boxes have (desktop boards) have different hda codecs for
front panel, rear, digital and HDMI ports.
