Summary:                    Labelling of controls for SB Extigy is confusing
Description: 
The controls for the SB Extigy are all labelled as Master. The names should
reflect the channel(s) that they control. Amixer shows this information
(albeit its mapping of controls to actual channels is off).
Additionally a Master 1 control exists that changes the volume of all
channels.

Syntax: SOURCE [DIRECTION] FUNCTION

The following controls appear in capture view of alsamixer because it miss
the 'Playback' direction

Simple mixer control 'Bass',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 96
  Mono: 48 [50%]
Simple mixer control 'Treble',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 96
  Mono: 48 [50%]

The following control should only appear in capture view of alsamixer,
because the control name did not follow Syntax: SOURCE [DIRECTION]
FUNCTION

Simple mixer control 'Capture Input Source',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Input 0' 'Mic' 'Mixer'
  Item0: 'Input 0'

Simple mixer control 'Digital In',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 200
  Mono: 200 [100%] Playback [on]

These control also not follow the syntax.

Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 6
  Mono: 6 [100%]

similar bug report https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1971
and https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1366

Refer to appearance of EQ peaks in alsamixer.png in
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1366 , alsamixer
is supposed to handle up to 8 channels ( 2 , 2 , 1 , 1, 2 ) with 5 sliders
(i.e. front, rear, centre, lfe , side ) when the count of the control is
greater than two and up to eight only.

andersin, your control names do not quite match the controls seen in other
SB Extigy devices (and that the driver expects).

Please post the output of "lsusb -v" for this device.
