Thanks for the help, much appreciated! I've managed to record just the line in from the back of my SBLive without capturing other sources. Yay! :-) But I still cannot capture from the LiveDrive Line in. It seems if I turn the "Capture" control off or set it to anything apart from "MIX" I cannot record anything. And if I set it to "MIX" I can record everything!! ;-) If anyone else has can help me out with this it will save me getting dusty when plugging things into the back of my PC! :-) Thanks again, Pete On Thu, 2003-04-24 at 01:35, Paul Perkins wrote: > Yes, I can't believe how ugly the SBLive mixing interface looks in all > the generic ALSA mixer programs.
