Summary:                    Dell/Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS: No capture control
Description: 
Unless this is a user overlooking a step...

There is no mute control on the "Master" item (or most other items for
that matter).
More importantly, the capture items do not have a capture control; they
have level adjustments, but one cannot actually select an item for
capturing.
It appears that this Dell-supplied device (with Audigy subsytem 1003) is
generally unknown to the drivers -- but it does work well for sound
playback.

Can you please confirm what is says on the actual PCI card?
SB0353 or SB0253.

Can you also list what you tested. Just saying it worked is not very
detailed.
E.g.
Speaker outputs for front, rear, center/lfe and side work.
Mic input works
Line input works.

If you did not test everything, just say "not tested" next to it.

The card is etched with "SB0350" and the stickers on the back also say
"SB0350"
A part list from dell called this a SB0353 -- but I generally don't argue
with what is etched in a board.

I have been happily using the card with alsa 1.0.11rc4 (Wed Mar 22
10:27:24 2006 UTC).  However, the card is still unknown:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards 
 0 [Audigy2        ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 [Unknown]
                      Audigy 2 [Unknown] (rev.4, serial:0x10031102) at
0xdcc0, irq 17

I say "happily using" ... here is what little I regularly use, and have
tested:
PCM playback to analog front stereo speakers: works well
Aux 1/8" analog line in playthrough: works well
Aux 1/8" analog line in to Analog_Mix and
PCM capture from Analog_Mix: works well except very low volume (low volume
could easily just be the source signal though...)

I'll try to apply the patch again from pzad, 8-28-05, and will report back
later.
