[SOLVED] No Sound - ALSA. Soundcard detected however

The new version of Alsa (1.0.20) supports my new sound card- the Asus Xonar Essence STX. I installed this version like it says on the wiki page http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso (compiled from source)

I have no sound now. In alsamixer my Master channel is unmuted and raised but i cant hear anything (not in mplayer, not with aplay... nothing). Here are some outputs that might help you help me

[rohit@myarch ~]$ aplay -l

What's line jac? (or jack)? and how did you do that?

Nvm I didnt realize that I could switch on of the options to "Headphones". Solved!
