I had found information on the net about the numbers to use for my hardware searching the net. I had tried out all the suggestions I could find, before I asked here.

I had moved the faders and unmuted the channels (both with hdspmixer and/or amixer). >> I think I could have made a very basic newbie mistake, even though I *did* >> a lot of searching on the net, and did a lot of RTFM.

I'd like to hear from somebody who really knows what's the situation with firmware, maybe Thomas? Thanks a lot for your patience, Robert
