Cheryl, The option is -D (capitalized) but it is never explained. Janina once described the syntax for using aplay on a second card, so perhaps the same syntax works for arecord. Maybe she can elaborate. But meanwhile, try this: arecord -D hw:1,0 ... other parameters The "1" is what specifies your second card.
