Does anyone know how I can select my audio output via the command line? I’m frequently switching between using my monitors inbuilt speakers and a USB audio interface and I’m finding it laborious to navigiggerate graphically through the settings in GNOME to do so.

What I’d like to do is set up a couple of bash aliases and do it in my terminal.

What’s the best way for me to do that?

Many thanks

        OK, I’m guessing that term has some extra baggage around here which I’m not privy to… I spent too many years chopping wood and growing corn, so someone will have to fill me in!

          Oh no, you’re going to make me be that guy lol.

          Ricing comes from “rice cooker”, meaning a Japanese car. The term is so far removed from any racial implications now, that some people say RICE means “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements”, though it’s just an excuse where one need not exist.

          I regularly see people brigade for others to stop saying it, even though the word now exists on its own. People treat it like it’s comparable to something like the Washington “Redskins”, it isn’t.
