wrong/not-yet-supported-on-linux firmware version. 

search the archives (this issue has shown up several times, including
the last few days), coordinate with other users, send some dollars and
i'll fix the ALSA driver. in the meantime downgrade to an older firmware
version. i wish i could offer it for free, but i can't. if someone else
wants to fix it, ask me for the files (and nothing else).
