After the success of the Xonar D2X in my system, I decided to upgrade to an Essence ST (of the PCI variety, no D6 daughterboard). Unfortunately it seems that it produces no audio for me over the headphone port (the reason I bought this card) or the front-panel headphone port.

^^^^^ The first ST driver did not work. This will be fixed in ALSA 1.0.22 or in the 2.6.33 kernel; try the daily snapshot: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/
I'm wondering if the Essence ST driver was written based on an a ST+D6 engineering sample as mine is the ST (no D6) retail box. Is it possible that the hardware is different?
The base board of the ST and ST+H6 are identical. However, I wrote the driver without any hardware at all, so I overlooked the CS2000 chip which needs to be initialized.
