I am trying to change my default output device from my builtin soundcard to an usb soundcard which is an output only device. I have tried:

# audioctl -f /dev/audio1
audioctl: /dev/audio1: Device not configured

I think there should be some controller that you configuring the audio device. But i manually tried to change the symlinks in the dev directory:
# ls -la * | grep -E "mixer|audio"
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel            6 Jun  3 16:58 audio -> audio1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 128 Jun  3 17:01 audio0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 129 May 28 19:07 audio1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 130 May 28 19:07 audio2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel            9 Jun  3 16:58 audioctl -> audioctl1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 192 May 28 19:07 audioctl0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 193 May 28 19:07 audioctl1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42, 194 May 28 19:07 audioctl2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel            6 Jun  3 16:58 mixer -> mixer1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42,  16 May 28 19:07 mixer0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42,  17 May 28 19:07 mixer1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root   wheel      42,  18 May 28 19:07 mixer2

But it is still defaulting to my builtin soundcard. How can i change the default sounddevice from audio0 to audio1?
