Well, I tried this... Thanks for the help. The asound.state you sent wasn't for exactly the right card... I had to change 82801DBICH4 to 82801CAICH3, and then it moaned about some invalid parameters:
shiro simon # alsactl restore -f ./asound.state alsactl: set_control:803: warning: name mismatch (Center Playback Switch/Headphone Playback Switch) for control #3 alsactl: set_control:803: warning: name mismatch (Center Playback Volume/Headphone Playback Volume) for control #4 alsactl: set_control:890: bad control.4.value type I tried emerging alsamixergui. Tweaked all the settings... Still no sound. Something weird: There were red dots above 'Mic' instead of white dots everywhere else. So it looks like it's trying to capture? I couldn't swith this off in alsamixer or alsamixergui. (using space) - Perhaps it's trying to do full duplex and failing? Or maybe I'm way off. Just a wild guess. Not sure what to try next.
