Hi Hin-Tak, How about using index instead? You should find the card index and device index by running "aplay -l" command. The pcm format is hw:{CARD_INDEX},{DEVICE_INDEX}. See example part in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/audiotest/+/refs/heads/master/alsa_conformance_test.md for more information.
