Re: ALSA + intel8x0 + 2.6.7 = very low volume

Just a quick update -

I gave up on my intel8x0 chip (I read that even when it works it's not a
big glick)
bought an SBLive! and after a few days of tweaking/googling and great
help from the
alsa-user mailing list I got it working both with playback and recording.

In order to make Skype (and apparently also Kaffeine) find it I had to
disable the
on-board intel8x0 chip via the bios - both those applications insist on
using "card 0"
which always was the on-board chip no mater what I did (I think even
when the
intel8x0 module was missing the single SBLive card appeared as "card 1").

Thanks for everyone's help.
