you can't hear anything, because DAC on your ONKYO SE-150PCI PLUS is not
initialized.

Laurent Courty (lrntct at gmail.com) has ONKYO SE-90PCI and I have been
trying to get it running for more than 2 weeks now, but without success and
filling the cfg_table is not so easy at all, because it involves knowing the
hardware specific design of the board, so the process on adding support for
new unsupported card can be summarized in the following steps:

0) examine the board to see what ICs they use for DACs, ADCs, DITs, etc.
1) make EEPROM dump (i wrote small kernel module that do the job:
http://www.nbritton.org/uploads/envy24/envy24_dump_v01.tar)
2) find the hardware specific design of the board (wiring between Envy24
chip and other important chips on the board like DACs)
3) fill the cfg_table and if needed write the necessary card specific code
(codec init code, etc.)

on the table here: http://envy24.svobodno.com , you can see all the above
info for supported boards till now - ICs, EEPROM dumps, wiring info, etc.

so do the steps 0) and 1) and mail me that info, then i will try to help you
with 2) and 3).
