aplay -L should give you a list of possible outputs, one of
which  you can then feed to speaker-test via -D to test.

Then you can set this in /etc/asound.conf as a default. Mine
says

defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 3
defaults.ctl.card 0

Thanks for the reply.  I had pretty well convinced myself that it's a
software problem,  and therein lies the rub (or, rather a very high degree
of entropy (mixedupness)).

Here is what might be the applicable portion on the output from aplay -L:

sysdefault:CARD=SB
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     Default Audio Device
front:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     Front speakers
surround21:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers
surround40:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=SB,DEV=0
     HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
     7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers


I would try

speaker-test -D front

and see if that comes out the right device.

Thanks for the reply.. That resulted in the 'front right' 'front left'
