This changed a while ago: the device number in "snd/N" corrsponds to the number of the -f option of sndiod. And "snd/0" is always the default. So I'd suggest: sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/1 -f rsnd/0" This will kind of "exchange" the first two devices. I.e. this exposes "snd/0" as sub-device of "rsnd/1" and "snd/1" as sub-device of "rsnd/0". -- Alexandre
