ALI 5451 не работает уровень громкости ( и при чем тут AC97)

Граждане помогите.
Звук есть и с дайверам в ядре (модули) и от alsa-driver
НО, блин, не работает изенение уровня громкости
где чего посмотреть подскажите.
Сразу предупреждаю: я в линуксах только начал, начал с гентуу потому что документация понравилась и идея. Не хочу монстров ставить.
может модем мешает?
или из-за того что перерывание одинаковое у всех (сеть звук карта usb)? как тогда поделить?
