A pop is a good start. Are you sure that alsamixer shows no analog loopback
controls? If they are there, mute them.
Which desktop are you using? KDE, or Gnome. I ask because Kmix is known to
mess the mixer settings up when logging in. Mind you, if you have opened
alsamixer on the CLI once logged in, and checked settings, that should have
overidden any problem there. I'll come back tomorrow, as it's getting late.
Nigel.
