A single TRS port is one channel.  Left or right.  You need to connect
your speakers to both the left and right channels of one output meaning
two plugs.

Well until someone packages it for the distribution it is hard to
install that way.

Whoever packaged that screwed up.  Hotplug is obsolete and not used
anymore.  udev is the modern method.

In your case the firmware files could just be installed manually, and if
you ever get a hold of an alsa-firmware package for fedora, it will just
overwrite the files.  I believe the firmware file is required to make
the card fully functional.
