There are few places that could be checked, but this will require enable debugging in the code (compiling etc) But based on your input, this http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2014-08-26-creative-sound-blaster-audigy-rx-sb1550-7-1-sound-sound-card-pcie and this http://alsa.opensrc.org/Emu10k1 https://wiki.debian.org/snd-emu10k1 I think you need at least custom setup to the driver (and perhaps newer kernel version). This way the chance for the driver reporting usable setup is higher. I think you have to solve this and come back. Perhaps alsamixer can resolve some of the reported features better than kmix, which does not mean that what is reported is correct. I see there is a lot of information on the web regarding your card. I am not an expert in alsa, but I would look first in this direction. Try at least setting up your device values properly. I have for example ## ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio ## module options should go here options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=ref enable_msi=1 enable=0,1 regards
