Also, can you see the signal in envy24control? If not, then you have to adjust the input levels externally. I'm using a DSP24 card and I record from vinyl to digital using Audacity. The difference is that I'm using a pair of the analog inputs. I was under the impression that there might be a problem with the SPDIF inputs on the envy24 chipset cards with ALSA but I could be wrong. I've never used SPDIF on my system (don't have any digital stuff ;-) Jan
