The mixer setting? You should set "Digital Capture Volume" 50%, corresponding to 0dB. The capture volume doesn't have to be too high, too.
oh.. i had to play a bit with alsamixer but finally i got a good result...
my setting:
- front mic boost = 50 (option: 0, 50, 100)
- Capture enabled = 65
- Capture 1 disabled (see below)
- Digital = 68
Keep this 50%. It's a digital attenuation/gain control and changing this makes no sense unless you have a digital mic without the hardware volume control.
- Input Source = Front mic
- Input Source 1 = Front mic (playback - see below)
Is "Front mic" the external mic jack? And the internal mic works as well?
i've discovered some oddity:
- i have 2 capture device.... (capture and capure 1)
- the first one is *really* a capture device and work only if i select
"front mic", not "mic"
- the second one is the mic playback device... and again it work only if
i use "front mic"
should it work this way?
The second capture could work independently, assigned to PCM#2.
The vref level could be a different one depending on the mic device you are using. But VREF80 is OK in most cases.
i don't know what "VREF80" but now capturing with mic work...
now remaining problems:
- midi hardware (my card should have it): i've loaded snd-seq-midi
module and i've an alsa hardware device but i can't play midi files (they play but i hear nothing...). i've created another alsa-info log taken with the snd-seq-midi loaded http://pastebin.ca/909849
No, you are fooled by marketing people. It has no MIDI hardware. It's a pure software thingy.
- no "mux","mix", or "aux" record source to directly record from desktop
The codec has no function to record from the mixer amp (some other Realtek codecs have, though). It's again a software issue.
- surround still doesn't work
i should have surround
No, you don't. aplay just shows the available "configuration" but it the device doesn't support surrounds.
