I have that card in my box and am pretty happy with it.  But I didn't
want channels 1 and 2 to be special (for mics) so I put the jumpers in
the "down" position (line level) which seems to, in effect, turn off the
internal mic preamps.  (I use the mic preamps in my mixer.)  This way I
have more flexibility as to what I do with all 8 inputs.  (I use a XLR
to phone jack adapter on those two inputs.)

The driver for it is the "envy24control" program which should be part of
your alsa installation.  Just type that in a term window and also look
at the man page for it.  I put it in a little script like this for a
basic 2 in, 2 out setup:

envy24control -o2 -i2 -p2 -s0 &

I only wish there was some better documentation for envy24control.  For
instance, for the life of me I can't figure out what "Volume Change
Rate" is on the "Hardware Settings" tab.

Anyway, hope this helps a bit.  Hang in there...
