More specifically, once you get alsamixer running, use Tab to get to your capture devices, left/right arrows to get to the one you want to enable/disable and space bar to toggle it on and off and up/down to set the capture levels. You might have to experiment a bit. Some cards have a Master Capture that controls all the master gain that needs to be enabled and then you enable the specific sources after that. Not sure if your card needs this or will handle multiple capture sources so you are best to just enable the one you need or that one and the master and see how that goes. Good luck. /Mike
