this is exactly my problem too! Great respect and many thanx to the alsa developers, but I get endless rows of sliders in alsamixer, some control this, some control that, some control both. is there a way to find out wich sliders do what and why and which ones to leave allone out there?
( it seems the onboard card is way much simler it only shows 1/3 of the controls ) bye, Matthijs.
