Ok I dont have a clue what ive just done but i made hotplug load the
firmware!!!
After downloading the hotplug scripts from sourceforge and trying all the
things listed above, i rebooted and then in X my mouse wasnt working
anymore! So i got mad with xf86cfg cause i couldnt make it work again and
thought of reinstalling the hotplug package from my debian repository, I
did so, but it didnt seem to work anymore, so i just thought of installing
every package i got in return for the "hotplug" search string in
apt-cache. I just had installed "fxload - Firmware download to EZ-USB
devices" and my mouse worked again, but surprisingly enough, on the next
reboot hotplug could at last find the Layla24 firmware!!!

Now, in alsaconf it does not appear to be there. Is it supposed to be like
that?
However in alsamixer i got the Layla24 there, but only with Master and PCM
channels. Same for volume control in gnome.

SDL based apps are not sounding neither noatun which exited with an
error.

Now that the firmware is there, am I missing something?

Thank for all of the support so far and thanks in advance.

Ok, I installed the echomixer, btw I must say its far much better than the
one for win, since you can redirect any i/os as you please with the amount
of dB you desire :))) I've read about that before... i think the mixing is
done in the card itself. Thats great.

The leftmost 8 signals in the VU meter are trembling, with their peaks
around -96dB, but i still cant make any audio program sound.

Alsaconf still doesnt recognise it.

Willing to hear from you, thanks.
