That sounds great! The speaker-test tool is supposed to produce only white noise, so its totally normal that there was no music yet. Try: speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:1,0 -twav for a speaker test with a voice saying "front left" etc... If this works, try: aplay -Dplughw:1,0 <someWavFile> to play any wav file you can find. If this works, too, you can the "plughw:1,0" device as virtual device for the usb sound card. You can either make applications use this device directly or make it to your default output device by writing this to your ~/.asoundrc file: pcm.!default { type plughw card 1 device 0 } Read more about asoundrc configuration at http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc (and the sites it links to at the bottom). I hope this makes it work! Regards, Ingo Dag Ringdal schrieb: > Ye I get a strong whistle. And the soundcard is blinking, which indicate it receives sound.
