Default sndio and USB headphones

I have a set of Logitech USB headphones that I am trying to get working. They are detected without issue, and attach to /dev/audio1, /dev/sound1, etc.

I can change links on /dev/audio, /dev/sound, /dev/mixer and /dev/audioctl, and testing the headphones with " cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio " work. I hear static on the headphones and not the speakers.

Anything that has to do with sndio / sndiod will not play on the headphones.

I have attempted to add the new audio device to sndiod using:
sndiod -f /dev/audio
and
sndiod -f /dev/audio1

And then tried to reference that device in the audio programs I use, for example ogg123:
ogg123 -d sndio -o rsnd:0 ..
ogg123 -d sndio -o snd:0 ...
ogg123 -d sndio -o /dev/audio ...

and many permutations of the above. None of these play on the headphones; they all play on the default speakers. It looks like sndiod doesn't recognize the new headset, even though I've linked it to the default audio device.

Reading the man page on aucat / sndiod, I can't find a way to list the current handles it has loaded. I'm pretty sure it's an issue with how sndiod is configured, but I am lost as to what to do now. Any pointers as to where to look would help me out tremendously.

Have you been able to use the headset with ogg directly, without sndiod?

An afterthought:

Your snd device names in your ogg123 commands do not appear (to me) to conform the to device name conventions as described in sndio(7).

Chalk this up to misinterpretation of the man page for ogg123. I revisited this issue with a clear head and the advice of jggimi.

The ogg123 documentation lists the sndio driver options as:
Quote:
sndio OpenBSD SNDIO live output driver. Options:

dev:value
Specifies audio device to use for playback.
I assumed that the device was rsnd or snd and the value was the number instance, and tried the ways shown above. Totally wrong.

In my case, with my headset detected and attached as /dev/audio1, the correct syntax was:
Code:
ogg123 -d sndio -o dev:rsnd/1 http://to.stream.ogg
FWIW, I could not get the sndio driver to use 'snd' devices as described in the sndio documentation, only the raw devices 'rsnd'.

Thanks jggimi for your help with this.

I have a pair of USB headphones:

Code:
uaudio0 at uhub2 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Logitech Logitech USB Heads
et" rev 2.00/10.13 addr 2
uaudio0: audio rev 1.00, 7 mixer controls
audio1 at uaudio0
All audio gets routed through them with rc.conf.local(8) of:

Code:
sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/1"
