I don't see a 'FRONT' slider. The 'Master's are '00' not 'MM' (which, I 
assume is the mute feature). I may be expecting too much from an on 
board sound card. The sound engineer that gets me my recording equipment 
(and gives me support) is trying to help me eliminate a high-pitch 
squeal (I don't know if that's the best descriptor - it's kind of like a 
high-pitch tinnitus whine, which is doubly no-fun for me as I actually 
have tinnitus) that I get when my linux computer is the source going 
into my MACKIE BIG KNOB studio command system (which sends the signal to 
a pair of M-AUDIO powered monitors). I don't have this problem when my 
CD player (just a JVC stereo-system CD player - not one on the computer) 
or my DAW are the sources. So, maybe I just have a dirty little onboard 
sound card (whatever that really means).

Do you know what this IEC958 is? If I don't have that as a slider in 
alsamixer do I not have to concern myself with it.
