MIXER: You need to make sure that you have the
'envy24control' GUI mixer. This is the most effective way
to control your card. It is usually installed with a
package called something like 'alsa-tools-gui'.

JACK: In qjackctl it set it up to use hw:1 with Duplex.

Using ENVY24CONTROL:

Make sure the levels are up: Go to the tab "Analog Volume"
and turn everything up all the way.

Make sure it's routed right: Go to the tab that says "Patch
Bay/Router" and select "Digital Mix L" and "Digital Mix R"
for H/W Outs 1 and 2.

Turn on Outs 1 and 2 in your monitor: Go to the tab that
says "Monitor PCMs" and un-click the "L/R Gang" for Out 1
and Out 2. Now, un-mute the Left for Out 1... and un-mute
the Right for Out 2. Turn the volumes all the way up on Out
1 and Out 2.[1]

Hope this helps:
Gabriel
