pulseaudio --kill It might not really remove all the bad behaviour that ships with PA, but anyway, try to kill PA and then use alsamixer again.

Again, google for "pulseaudio AC'97 Audio Controller" and similar, perhaps somebody solved the same issue you have. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
