I think that you're getting grub device names confused with alsa names. Normally you can address them by hw:0 or hw:1 or hw:2. Basically hw:0,1 for capture device and hw:0,0 for playback. You can give more meaningful names in your .asoundrc configuration. But generally NOT HD#, that's a grub thing for Hard Drive. Although most alsa apps reference them by -c # where the # matches their designation in /proc/asound/cards. Many apps that use alsa use something like -D hw:2 or -ao alsa:device=hw:2 and that is assuming that you don't want to just use the defaults.
