I suppose you're talking about the operating system ``GNU/Linux''. > say that I don't know any system logs yet. Do you have any request? The related stuff of the output from `dmesg`.

Oh, o.k. I don't know how the Ubuntu team looks at default volumes. However, I am not an expert in this field, so I can't put my finger on the problem you're having. I have some tests for debugging, you could try, though. Does the card work in any other distributions? If you enabled the OSS mixer API in the kernel -- could an OSS-mixer-application control the hardware, then? Have you STFW'ed on terms as ``alsa can't control mixer'' and ``alsa ich5 mixer''?
