Realtek soundcard volume for recording issues

Hello all.

I have a Realtek HD Audio card, the codec number is ALC883 and the driver is version 5.10.00.5229.

Anyway, the main problem I have is the fact that I can't configure the various volumes for recording inputs. There's instead one master volume and that's really annoying. If I want to record myself with a mic, I need the mic volume turned way up and if I wanted stereo mix, that needs to be way low or else the recording is blasting loud.

So my question is, can anything be done with this? Thanks.
 
I was wondering if you found a solution as I am going nuts over the same problems
