If your hdsp is hw:0 then you have to set pcm.hdsp to card 0. Your asoundrc should look like this then (added groups for adat and spdif like in the article above): pcm.hdsp { type hw card 0 } ctl.hdsp { type hw card 0 } pcm.hdsp_analog { type plug ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.2.2 1 ttable.3.3 1 ttable.4.4 1 ttable.5.5 1 ttable.6.6 1 ttable.7.7 1 slave.pcm hdsp } pcm.hdsp_adat { type plug ttable.0.8 1 ttable.1.9 1 ttable.2.10 1 ttable.3.11 1 ttable.4.12 1 ttable.5.13 1 ttable.6.14 1 ttable.7.15 1 slave.pcm hdsp } pcm.hdsp_spdif { type plug ttable.0.16 1 ttable.1.17 1 slave.pcm hdsp } you can check the number of your hdsp through: cat /proc/asound/cards and test your setting using aplay -d hdsp_analog <path_to_a_wav_or_pcm_file" is this doesn't work try to check if it's usable as plugdevice: aplay -d plughw:0,0 <path_to_a_wav_or_pcm_file" good luck Martin
