Hello,
I downloaded the alsa-driver, utils, and lib of 1.0.11 version and now
some controls in the alsamixer work. Here is the info for debugging :
version info:
alsa-lib-1.0.11-2
alsa-utils-1.0.11-2.RHEL4
alsa-lib-debuginfo-1.0.11-2
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.11-2
alsa-utils-debuginfo-1.0.11-2.RHEL4
execution of cmd: aplay -l

playing sound by executing aplay -D hw:1,0
/usr/share/sounds/shutdown*.wave works fine. (better than version 1.0.6-5)
executed the command: alsaunmute 1
executed the command and used "F4" to adjust the capture of mic and
raised mic channel using "alsamixer -c 1"
However the recording still doesn't work with the command:
arecord -d 20 -D hw:1,0 -f dat /tmp/foobar.wav
and the dump is below:

Please let me know if I have anything set in the wrong way. Let me also
know if we have to login a defect at ALSA-project site. Hope I have
switched on the capture this time. "space bar" doesn't work and so is
the case with "m" to unmute the channel. Also with 1.0.11 version,
"F2", "F3", "F4" and "F5" function keys WORK.
Thanks for all your help.
V. A. Krishnan.
