Hi,

I have this card too, and in envy24control, under analog volume tab I have
ADC0 and ADC1 control. But when I move those fader it changes sounds
output...
Anyway, I don't know should works those volume fader, but I don't think
there are any "analog" control before the ADC? I look at the card and the
input are striaght to the ADC (AK4528).
So if the sound is too high/distorded, you can't lower it with envy24control
(you will lower a distorted sound).
I think you should try to lower the analog in singal?

Pilo.
