I also have this soundcard. What kernel version are you using? I found that |
| 40 |
with 2.6.16 I only had one bar in alsamixer, just like you. However with |
| 41 |
2.6.17 I got two bars and the sound worked, but quietly. Some googling told |
| 42 |
me that the volume was fixed in alsa version 1.0.13, which is newer than the |
| 43 |
version in the kernel. So I removed alsa from the kernel and emerged the |
| 44 |
unstable version of alsa-driver, which is version 1.0.13. The sound is now |
| 45 |
louder, but still not as much as I would like. I get the impression that the |
| 46 |
driver for this card is a work in progress, so hopefully it will get better. |
| 47 |
Also this version of alsa identifies the chip in the card as being a |
| 48 |
Conexant, rather than just ID 5047, which has to be a sign of progress :-) |

See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml for information on installing |
| 51 |
alsa using alsa-driver rather than the kernel. |
