Did you ever file an FC3 bug report? I think it's a bug for the distro
to configure the onboard sound device if there's an external one
present. It should be safe to assume that if the user has connected an
external sound device, they don't want to use the built in sound.

As a 2496 user also (on an HP Pavilion also), I
don't even bother with
alsamixer and use the envy24control tool instead, which lets you
directly control the hardware the way you can in Windows (using the
hardware monitor & digital mixer, as well as some of the routing
features and other options you can set on the hardware).
I do recommend, if you are relatively new to Linux and Linux audio, to
install one of the pre-packaged multimedia distros like PlanetCCRMA or
Agnula/Demudi -- they'll make your life a lot easier.
Could it be that alsamixer is actually looking at your onboard sound
instead of the 2496?
