Notice that alsa isn't telling us anything about the muted/unmuted state of the card. Something is wrong, and I don't know how to fix it. Someone who was using my ArchLinux CD had a similar issue last year. His card was an "Intel 82801HB ICH8 - High Definition Audio". As it turned out, fixing his problem was as simple as a kernel upgrade. Yes, I made a special CD just for him, and all was well. What is the exact make and model of your card? -- Chris
