Fwd: Talking Arch has no speech

[Tony Baechler]

Kyle,

I'll have to get back to you on this, but the problem is the sound card 
isn't muted, so your unmute script doesn't work.  It also happens on the 
Sound Blaster Live! Value.  I'll have to send my amixer output separately, 
but I think the name of the control is:

Analog Capture Switch

To further complicate things, the SB Live calls it something else, but with 
Analog in the name.  Ubuntu had a problem with the Live! Value but not the 
Audigy.  If you have a really ancient card, you don't have this problem. 
Actually, the Live doesn't have this problem, it's the Live! Value.  I know 
the Audigy and Audigy II do have the problem and were finally fixed in 
Debian, so it's obviously an ALSA driver issue.
