Is it just me or is ALSA a little bit pessimistic about maximum gain levels for inputs and outputs.
I think it's you. ali5451 with ALSA-Lib 1.0.15 works fine for me. I can comfortably overload the internal speakers and microphone - if it was a mixing desk, it would be red-lighting like a christmas tree.
My USB Mic (yealink) was OK but I don't think it ever overloaded.

Is there any way to tweak the input/output gain of my soundcard beyond the limits of the mixer sliders in alsamixer ?
Patch the driver? Icky but a last resort. File a bug?
Hope you get it working,
