how do I mute them manually, without hdaanalyser?

I selected node 0x0c in hdaanalyzer and see audio mixer [OxOb] in the Connection list, but I cannot select the radio button.
According to the block diagram of alc880 datasheet, it look like two mute switches for node 0x02 and 0x0b or checkbox in hda_analyzer
Node 0x0c [Audio Mixer] wcaps 0x20010f: Stereo Amp-In Amp-Out Amp-In caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-In vals: [0x00 0x00] [0x00 0x00]
Unfortunately hda_analyzer seem fail to parse your codec -info

no, the motherboard has 6 plugs, but no digital outputs on the back. Furthermore, I muted the CD channel, the line in was already muted, but I still have crap sound compared to my $20 mp3 player. Something else is wrong!
Take a look at the block diagram of alc880 datasheet
does it help when you use hda-analyzer to mute the amp-in value from node 0x0b in 0x0c ?
