Please tell me if this is possible to be fixed... I really need this information.
If yes, in how many days...? This is very important for me...

Hi Clemens and Raymond,
First of all please tell me if this can be fixed. I can be patient and wait until you fix it but if it's not possible I will return the external audio card to the shop.
Here you see the alsa information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=869ec0f1ade49a17bc50e9f62a1e8881f7b4cf91

Below you have the commands and their output:

I have just bought an external sound card: Asus Xonar U7
cannot load mixer controls: Broken pipe
This looks like a bug in the device's firmware.
Can you at least read the list of controls ("amixer -c1 controls")? Are there some controls that you are able to access (try "amixer -c1 cget name='xxx'" for each one)?
