MCP51 audio seems to be a major pain. For example, google "MCP51 alsa"
And here is a 13 page thread spanning over a year on the problem:

After much googling, it seems to be a ViXS (1745) PureTV-U (2100) device
aka ViXS XCode 2100. I am seeing very little info on it at all and basically

Definitely not a computer designed with Linux in mind.
Sorry I can't help more.
