I can't, in alsamixer with pulseaudio, I can't modify PCM. It jitters between 100 and 97, whenever it flicks from 97 to 100, 'front' goes down a notch. Note that changing front from 0 to 100 is a good range, but that only corresponds to about 20% in the pulseaudio slider.

A combination that almost works is only adding control=PCM. Now I can use alsamix to put front up high, and pa modifies the PCM, giving me the whole range correctly. However, as soon as I launch pavucontrol, it mutes everything.

Oh, but changing that to control 'Front' does seem to work, and pavucontrol doesn't cause it to mute. So now it's working more correctly. I wonder why it was doing strange things previously...

Thanks.
