This isn't a laptop, it's a desktop board. There are 6 analog jacks and
both an optical and a coaxial SPDIF connectors.
In KMix's Input tab there are 5 input sliders shown:
- Front Mic Boost
- Mic Boost
- Capture
- Capture
- Capture
The Output tab bears 17 sliders, including two pairs of Mic sliders
(Front and main, each with a boost and level control). There is a
digital IEC958 output slider, a few line input sliders, a CD slider and
so on.
The label at the bottom right of the window is "HDA Intel".
Frankly, I don't understand all this stuff since my audio needs are
quite simple. Apart from the fact that I like to use optical cable
between my computers and my stereo, I don't do anything fancy with
audio. (I prefer the optical audio connection 'cause I'm in an old
building that doesn't have three-prong plugs and I've discovered
there's quite a large voltage differential between the outlets where my
computers are plugged in and the one where the TV and stereo are
plugged in. That may be because there are two phases present within my
apartment--there's an electric stove. At least with optical cable I
don't have to worry about those big sparks I used to see and the shocks
I occasionally felt!!)

Just a thought, but have you explored your BIOS settings thoroughly? I
often find them confusingly organized and frequently have a hard time
finding things I know are their 'cause I've used them before!
