Hello,
I have DOSBox 0.74 under Gentoo Linux (amd64). I have two sound cards (one on the motherboard, and one on a PCI card).

How can I tell to DOSBox to use the one I want to use?

An example with aplay, the alsa sound player:

aplay -D plughw:1,0 a.wav -> plays on card number 1
aplay -D plughw:0,0 a.wav -> plays on card number 0.

Have I missed a command line parameter of DOSBox?

Have a nice day,
Lionel

dosbox uses libsdl for that.
So check how you can tell libsdl to use which soundcard

Thank you so much Qbix! The solution is (following my first example):

AUDIODEV="plughw:1,0" dosbox
