Since I have never heard of aumix nor Alsa I can't comment on their use. system sounds , bells and dings have nothing to do with the channels for inputing radio into FC4. Above you are talking I assume the physical line in to your machine. That is also not what i asked about. alsamixer is the program to adjust the internal sound channels of which there are more than 10. It is these channel levels I am referring to. Of course, it also possible that aumix and Alsa do the same thing as alsamixer and I am all wet.
I plugged the radio into my other generic soundcard, which is located on /dev/dsp1 (my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card is /dev/dsp), and guess what? IT WORKS. I am getting audio now after setting things as you suggested. But it STILL won't work with the SoundBlaster card, setting things the way you suggested there, too. Weird.
