The graphical mixers that use the ossaudio emulation layer don't
always map the controls reasonably, depending on the device. (Some of
the audio devices have more lines and controls than can be represented
with ossaudio -- that's a fundamental failing of ossaudio). Try using
"mixerctl" to fiddle the knobs, e.g.: "mixerctl -w inputs.cd=255".

Once you know what works, you can add the settings to your ~/.xsession
file. I have this in mine...

# Set up mixer/volume controls
#
if [ -h /dev/mixer ]; then
  mixerctl -w inputs.cd=255,255
  mixerctl -w inputs.dac=216,216
  mixerctl -w outputs.master=240,240
fi

so I can share between hosts that don't all do audio. Adjust to taste.
