These descriptors say that there is a two-channel volume control that
applies to the front channels, but I guess it really affects all
channels.

Please show the output of "amixer contents" for this card.

This describes an input device that reports 'key' presses to the
computer.  I guess the control panel and remote control don't have a
direct effect but expect the computer to explicitly change mixer
controls when a key is pressed.

However, this shouldn't prevent alsamixer from working.

It might be possible that the mixer controls don't have many steps and
that the step size used by alsamixer is so small that the device rounds
the setting back to the old position.  Please try PageUp/Down or Home/
End instead of Up/Down keys.

Clemens
