This is what I have been using put regular pcm does not get passed through:
almost as though ~/.asoundrc is being ignored...

I have used card 0 in place of Card SB also. shrug.


pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card SB
}

pcm.digital {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
}

ctl.digital {
  type hw
  card SB
}

pcm.digital-hw {
  type hw
  card SB
  device 1
}

ctl.digital-hw {
  type hw
  card SB
}
