There are no capture volumes in hardware. In order to get sound from analog inputs into headphones one may need to enable what ALSA developers call "capture loopback" - and yes, there is nothing in mixer controls which even remotely resembles these words. On my Revolution 7.1 it is done the following way: 1) start 'alsamixer'; 2) find 'H/W' and 'H/W 1' tabs - on the way ask ALSA developers about consistency and why 'H/W' is not called 'H/W 0'; 3) using '<-' or '->' keys select 'H/W' tab; 4) using 'Up' and "Down" keys make 'H/W In 0' label to appear above the 'H/W' tab; 5) do the same thing with 'H/W 1' tab, jsut the label should be 'H/W In 1' (for mono it doesn't matter). The above operations enable capture loopback for both "Mic In" and "Line In" - there is no way to enable/disable "Mic In"/"Line In" separately. I believe it's an HW limitation. You might want to use "Softvolume" plugin (since there is no HW control for capture gain), but I have no idea how to enable it (out of the box ? .asoundrc ?). DACs volume is controlled by 'DAC', 'DAC 1' tabs - again, questions on consistency to ALSA developers are more than welcome. I hope that controls of Revolution 5.1 are similar. Maybe you'll have to try other than 'H/W', 'H/W 1', 'DAC', 'DAC 1' - set all DACs volume to, say. %80 and start playing with HW* tabs if my settings do not work for you.
