In envy24control go to the "Analog Volume" tab and make sure that the
sliders are all the way up. The "Mute" controls are for the internal
chipset mixer which mixes to stereo (you have to select "Digital Mix
L/R" for the hardware outputs 1 and 2 if you want to use it - see the
Patchbay/Router tab).
