Yes, I can't believe how ugly the SBLive mixing interface looks in all the generic ALSA mixer programs. Zillions of cryptically labeled controls, yuck. You want to make your card stop "capturing" the mix input, and capture the Live Drive line in. I don't have the Live Drive, so I capture regular "line". In "gamix", the mixer that has confused me slightly less than the others, I have to turn "AC 97 Capture" all the way up, "AC 97 Playback" all the way down, find the box that says just plain "Capture", set the choice menus in the box to "Line", make sure the little box is "on" (dark gray instead of light gray), and adjust the volume sliders (still in the Capture box) to somewhere in the middle. But I see there is a separate area for dealing with "Line / LiveDrive Capture" so to record from there, who knows? Logically you would want to turn off the Capture thing I use (light gray in the little square below the volume sliders) and enable the LiveDrive Capture (dark gray in both little squares above the other volume sliders). Confused? Me too!
