I was referring to the line pcm "hw:1" in the above pcm.!default. I used "hw:1" there as I am using the card with that number. But you might try something else like "hw:1,0" as your card "1" has more than one device. The idea is that if you had something like pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "hw:1,0" channels 2 } } in your ,asoundrc file it would make "hw1:0" your default. Then aplay or other ways to play sound that send their output to the alsa default would send it to that card and device. Change the numbers after the "hw" above and you change the card and device they send the sound to. However from the above you may also have a problem with sending the right format or using a sample rate the hardware can accept. Hence my suggestion/question about trying 44.1k stereo (i.e. Audio CD format) since I'd expect a card to be happy with that and 48k 16bit stereo.
