First you have defined pcm.internal and pcm.usb-audio twice - once as an HW device and once as a dmix device. Remove these stanzas: pcm.internal { type hw card 0 } pcm.usb-audio { type hw card 1 } Then try: aplay -Dusb-audio file.wav from 2 terminals. Also, there's no need to configure dmix for the internal card, ALSA should do it automatically if you use the "default" device (aplay -Ddefault file.wav or just aplay file.wav).
