Public bug reported: I recently bought a StarTech.com branded USB sound card (http://www.startech.com/item/ICUSBAUDIO-USB-20-to-Audio-Adapter.aspx). As far as I can tell this is has a C-Media CM108 chipset. It works fine under Windows, though a little loud. In Ubuntu Intrepid the volume is ear-splitting, and the normal GNOME volume control has no effect at all; the only control in gnome-alsamixer that has any effect is the one specifically associated with the device ("USB Mixer" - incidentally there are two tabs for it, one showing only the microphone, the other showing both mic and speaker). To get a sensible volume control I have to plug my earphones into my external speakers and use the speakers' physical volume control.
