Greetings. I recently purchased a SoundBlaster Audigy, thinking it would be a good input device for use with my guitar (having had problems with on-board C-Media and my former Diamond MX-400). I am running it under alsa-0.9.0-rc6, with linux kernel 2.4.21-pre5 vanilla. While using various synth tools like ams or galan (and with the mic-in channel muted so I only hear the synth effect), I noted that I wasn't receiving any input at all from the audio input source. Upon further investigation, I noted that it was necessary for me to use KDE's mixer to bump up the "IGain" to a non-zero setting. Unfortunately, while this causes audio input to occur, it has an unwanted tremolo-like effect. Strangely, when I'm not using a synth tool and I'm just playing my guitar normally (with the mic-in unmuted and the IGain off), it sounds great. The card can accept input just fine. What's the deal with the IGain setting, and how can I set things up properly to avoid the "tremolo overload"? ---scott
