It looks like you have already done all the right things. It _may_ be
that that particular version of the card is not well supported by alsa.
AFAIK that card has tons of controls in alsamixer (or gamix if you
prefer a GUI mixer)... could you send me the output of "amixer"? Maybe
there is some control you have not touched yet that is the key...
