Sergi,

	I'm not using that card but I am using the same chipset.  When you
bring up envy24control (make sure you're using ALSA 0.9rc7, older
versions have problems with envy24control) check the Patchbay/Router
tab.  If H/W Out 1 (L) and H/W Out 2 (R) are set to Digital Mix L and
Digital Mix R respectively you can overdrive the output.  Try switching
them to PCM Out 1 and PCM Out 2 or cut down/mute some of the Monitor
Mixer tab.
