The missing mute controls? Your post is missing a lot of information. Please attach the output of `alsa-info.sh` [1]. [1] also describes some ways how to debug HDA problems. I also recommend you to post to alsa-devel [2] since in my experience it is more likely you will get an answer there. Also maybe just post a message for each problem with a descriptive subject line and wait with the next problem until the first one is resolved, so people can answer it in less time. > Finally, none of this is connected to the mute and volume buttons > on the keyboard.

I would recommend PulseAudio, but I do not know how to set it up without X11.
