Mixers on laptops seem to be an even bigger pain in the ass than everything

It's called QAMix.  That's my recommendation too, and I'm really happy to see 
that Ubuntu Studio has it packaged up.  That's rare to see, and a source of 
delight.  I wonder if it might have something to do with me recommending 
QAMix in my book.  Maybe I flatter myself.  :)

It might or might not be relevant for this user's particular soundcard, but 
this bit of my book might be helpful:
