Everybody has an outdated version.  The upstream source hasn't been touched 
since 2003.  That's most likely the root of your trouble.  You probably need 
to create an .xml file for it that describes the specifics of your sound 
chip.

I'm afraid I have no idea how to do that.  I've never fooled around with 
the .xml files with this thing.  Since QAMix is STILL the only Linux mixer 
client on the planet that presents controls I can figure out how to use to 
control the AC97 capture, it's probably worth someone blowing the dust off 
this relic, and updating it to accommodate modern soundcards.

Actually, I intended to do that years ago, but it hasn't happened in five 
years or so, and it's not likely to happen now either.  Sorry.
