I have on my old opl3sa2 card this control, which controls the capture
volume from the selected capture source and shows up as Capture in
alsamixer:
control.13 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type INTEGER
comment.range '0 - 15'
iface MIXER
name 'Capture Volume'
value.0 14
value.1 14
You don't have that control, I guess your mixer is just different.
And I'm using the old 0.9.0rc8 version :( I hope someone else can help
you. Good luck!
