Hello, AFAIK there is no ALSA command to do that. Jude, if you mean to change the default card, just edit or create /etc/asound.conf so it includes these lines: defaults.pcm.card=<card number> default.ctl.card=<card number> In Slint if you want to apply the change specifically to espeakup or speechd-up, edit instead the relevant config file: /etc/espeakup.conf /etc/speechd-up.conf and set the value of ALSA_CARD to your liking. If you use fenrir, I believe that you have to rely on the content of /etc/asound.conf. Can someone confirm or infirm?
