      @mitu ok besides the rom I tested with earlier most others seem to work again with those changes but I'm still unbelievably getting no audio 😭 would it be worth checking the runcommand log again or will it be blank as the rims work? Finally should card "U012529205" mentioned below be unique or would this be generic? Not sure how I find out what I replace that with and I appreciate all the help your giving!```
      }
      pcm.usb {
      type hw
      card "U012529205"
      format S16_LE
      }

        @t3stin Try listing the cards with aplay -l, yours may have a different name.

          @mitu so I get the right answer here's a few screenshots if you're able to decipher? In ES I have card as sysdefault, device as speaker and 0MX as ALSA:HW:0,0

                Sounds like the name is 'USB PnP Sound Device'.

                  @mitu ROMs load, no errors in run command, when I run a test wav file the light on the usb sound card flashes yet I still have nothing coming out of the speaker (which was new)...never realised it would be so difficult to get some sound out of this thing! Should I just give up and play in silence? 😐

                        amixer -M
                        and
                        amixer

                            if you look at mono playback it appears to be off (mic) open alsamixer again use the leftt and right arrow keys to check if anything is muted or off also what is your sound.

                            edit:

                            Check if you have a ~/.asoundrc file in your user home directory; it will override settings in /etc/asound.conf
