This is what the "mixer" output looks like:

Mixer vol is currently set to 84:84
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75
Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0
Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0
Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0
Recording source: mic

The output jacks are ok. I don't know what else to look at.
