Hi! The last two commands don't work, because they should look like this: aplay -Dsurround51 <filename> aplay -Ddefault <filename> The :0,0 that comes after plughw is a parameter for the device telling it to use card *0* subdevice *0* (that's what the numbers stand for). I forgot the <filename> before, sorry about that. Anyway, the problem seems to be somewhere else. Maybe you indeed need some firmware, but I don't know at all how to deal with this. If you get your sound card to work, it'd be really great if you could write some lines to http://alsa.opensrc.org/Gina24&action=edit about how you did it. Anything helps, even if it's only the fact that a firmeware is needed, URLs about web pages about this problem etc...)
