You didn't give any other details on your system, but I can tell you 
that I don't have
alsa installed and my S.B. Live 1024 Player ( I believe that's the hole 
name)
works very good on my RedHat 8 box - it uses the EMU10k1 driver .
Already tried with 2 different headsets and the mic gain works great 
with KMix .
Maybe it's some kind of bug or incompatibility with the driver and some 
Live
models ( there are quite a few, right ? ).Someone else already stated to 
have problems
with S.B. Live , specifically with the mic gain .
