For this reason I usually edit /etc/asound.conf by hand or I usually use amixer. You want the microphone muted, to stop it coming out hte speaker. You don't want the ac97 second mic support active either. Kirk has a sblive and has it working on the reflector. I don't yet have one of these cards because the line-in on them can be rather noisy and I don't want that for sampling books. I have an es1370 at the moment and an es1371 in another machine.
