Does anyone know how I can select my audio output via the command line? I'm frequently switching between using my monitors inbuilt speakers and a USB audio interface and I'm finding it laborious to navigiggerate graphically through the settings in GNOME to do so.

What I'd like to do is set up a couple of bash aliases and do it in my terminal.

What's the best way for me to do that?

Many thanks

I've been ricing my GNOME DE.

Only joking. I had a bit of fun in GIMP for to illustrate this post. You're welcome to use it if you want :)

If the UI always looks like that you'd huffed too much Compiz.

I thought I'd just slip it in and see what happened! I like making things in GIMP as well

Uh oh, you said the forbidden word. Won't be long until everyone in this thread is "informed".

OK, I'm guessing that term has some extra baggage around here which I'm not privy to... I spent too many years chopping wood and growing corn, so someone will have to fill me in!

Oh no, you're going to make me be that guy lol.

Ricing comes from "rice cooker", meaning a Japanese car. The term is so far removed from any racial implications now, that some people say RICE means "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements", though it's just an excuse where one need not exist.

I regularly see people brigade for others to stop saying it, even though the word now exists on its own. People treat it like it's comparable to something like the Washington "Redskins", it isn't.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
