trying to do? For applications that only use stereo out, channel 1 and
channel 2 would be used as the volume for the application (although
typically the application would have its own volume control, which is
usually controls what 2 outs you have mapped to the card).

Step by step instructions:
1) Open envy24control.
2) Switch to the "Patchbay / Router" tab.
3) Select "Digital Mix L" in the "H/W Out 1 (L)" channel strip and
"Digital
Mix R" in the "H/W Out 2 (R)" strip.
4) Switch to the "Monitor PCMs" tab.
5) "L/R Gang", rise the fader and unmute "Left" and "Right"
in both the "PCM
Out 1" and "PCM Out 2" channel strip.
The "Digital Mix" setting will mix down all PCMs to a stereo pair and
output it on H/W Out 1 and 2.
You should now have sound, but at a much lower level than when you had "PCM
Out 1" and "PCM Out 2" selected in the "Patchbay / Router", so
you might
want to raise the volume output level in the application that is supposed to
make some sound.

And my friend tried envy24control and reported
this:
"I installed alsa-tools-gui, and the envy24control tool was impressive,
but had no master volume control, whether in digital mixer mode, or
not.
It has a master monitor mode, but no master
volume."
