Apologies - somehow the cycles of restarting/powering off and on - it seems to be working fine now. To make sure I understand correctly / and possible help others in future reading thread: (OpenBSD 6.5, amd64) /etc/rc.conf.local sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/1" (This tells the sndiod daemon to configure the first _raw_ audio device = 'audio1' in dmesg = 'rsnd/1', and this becomes exposed as the first sndiod device 'snd/0') aucat -f snd/0 -i song.wav (Plays song.wav through the first sndiod exposed device, 'snd/0' = 'rsnd/1' ) This works aucat -f rsnd/0 -i song.wav (Plays song.wav through the _raw_ sound device 'audio0' in dmesg, the onboard Intel Audio) This works (note, 'rsnd/0' is not exposed as any 'snd/N' available device) aucat -f rsnd/1 -i song.wav (Plays song.wav through the _raw_ sound device 'audio1' in dmesg, in my case the USB speakers) This works aucat -f snd/1 -i song.wav (fails because with sndiod_flags -f rsnd1, then sndiod only exposes one device, 'snd/0' = the _raw_ sound device 'audio1' = 'rsnd/1' , and there is no 'snd/1') aucat -i song.wav (Plays song.wav through the default sndiod exposed device 'snd/0' = 'rsnd/1' ) This works Hopefully I have that all correct. I have no idea why it didn't work when I first tried this yesterday when I first hooked up the USB speakers.
