No tone/treble/bass in alsa

I found that my bass is slightly too high, so I tried to adjust it in alsamixer but oops! there are no treble or bass adjusters. I checked the ALSA howto, which said I should unmute "Tone" to enable treble/bass control, but I don't have a tone adjuster either.

I was thinking it may be my sound card (Creative SB Live Dell OEM) since a lot of people seem to be having trouble with it?
Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X
Yet I'm pretty sure I've installed ALSA correctly.

Any help is greatly appreciated =)

Do you know for certain that your card has tone control?

I would expect it to. I remember being able to control bass and treble in Windows.

I think Dell do funny things with their stuff. My laptops sound chip (an i8x0 based thingymajig) had bass and treble in Windows when I used the Dell drivers, but when I used different drivers it didn't. And they arn't there in Linux either. I never quite understood Dell anyway, they seem to do a lot of silly things...
