      @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? 😐

                      and

                          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
