I would expect it to recognize and make use of both.  Are you sure it isn't 
doing that?

I've never found any rhyme or reason to which card ends up hw:0 and which 
hw:1, so the only way I know to guarantee that something will be hw:0 is to 
make it the only card on the system.  In your case, you can probably 
accomplish that by going into your BIOS configuration, and disabling the 
built-in Intel sound chip.  That will leave just the one for the auto 
configuration scripts to find and load a driver for, and it will end up as 
hw:0, where everything expects to find it.
