I asked some months ago if anyone had any advice for how to get it working: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/29626 Apparently there are still people having problems with this card. Today I spend some more time tinkering with it and have finally got some noise out of it. The magic is a .asoundrc file as follows: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "surround51:CARD=1" slave.channels 6 route_policy duplicate } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } Note that it's card "1" because I have a second PCI sound card. I have my stereo speakers connected to the gray plug (side speaker out according to the manual). The lime plug is supposed to be for front speakers but no signal is present. The volume is turned up on all mixer controls. Anyone have ideas on why no sound comes out of the front speaker plug? Regards, Neil
