I need switch 2 sound outputs.

for instance, I have this output
Code:
localhost hdd # alsactl init 1
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI ID aa01" "HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100200" "0x1458" "0x1314"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
localhost hdd # cat  /proc/*/cards
 0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfe044000 irq 41
 1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfe040000 irq 16

I try with alsactl make second as first.
And this not make seance. Or suggest another command.
here what I need:
Code:

localhost hdd # cat  /proc/*/cards
 0 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfe040000 irq 16
 1 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfe044000 irq 41

Or I should play with /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf to switch outputs?

Hello,

If you need to have that permanent, you can edit the index of each module in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf, as described in http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA#HTML5_does_not_play_in_firefox_browser (this is not related to that problem, but they explain how to set the card index)

more documentation here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards#Reordering_the_driver_for_a_particular_card
