Re: How do I use Radeon audio device controller in arch linux with DWM?

A Radeon device is for HDMI output to e.g. an attached screen, you're not going to get "improved audio" out of your normal speaker with that.

Answering your literal question.

wpctl set-default 63

but unless you've a setup getting audio explicitly from a screen this is unlikely to do what you want
