    I've one of this, it's quality is abysmal low, IMHO the the culprit is the
    C-Media Electronics CMI9739, for example the CMI9739 has no PCM volume
    control, you can have only on/off, the volume need to be changed via
    software by the driver, and IIRC the frequency is 48 KHz fixed and
    need to be scaled by software. I'm using ALSA, don't recall using OSS
    with this one, YMMV.

    I've found that the "Surround" level, as showed on Gnome Volume
    Control, control the CD volume, so go figure...
