Different boards can use different mixers. The identification of your mixer as a C-Media Electronics CMI9761A+ could be wrong, in which case all kinds of things would go wrong in using it. The Ubuntu machine has a "ICEnsemble ICE1232" mixer, according to the email you sent. Unless you know that it is the exact same motherboard, then I cannot see anything to do with that info right now. What you really need to do is find some way to really verify what mixer actually is on the motherboard. My technique was to use a magnifier at 6 inches and a strong light, to read the numbers off of every chip anywhere near the back connectors of the motherboard. One of them is likely to be the mixer. You would especially be looking for a CMEDIA or a VIA chip, maybe about 16 to 22 pins. Unless you can get information from the manufacturer, say from a ASUS web site, or ASUS user help, that is probably the best way to really be sure. It is possible for the mixer chip to be misidentified, especially if it is a new chip. If you look in /usr/share there is a file with all the pci id numbers and what device they are. There are some id numbers in that file that are used for two different devices. New pci devices are added to that list as they are discovered by users whose hardware does not work. I do not know how the mixer is detected by ALSA, it does not look like it is on the PCI bus. There must be id device numbers somewhere that the ALSA driver is accessing. If you can confirm exactly what mixer is actually on your system and also give the ASLA-dev team the id numbers (which I do not know how to get, but they will know how) that the device gives, then who-ever handles that device for the team correct the identification. If the mixer is a slight variation of a previous mixer then it will work better, maybe not completely, but better. This all assumes that you can identify that the mixer is not what ALSA sndstat is reporting it to be. !! If you can report that the mixer identification by ALSA is correct then we can look at other possiblities.
