But, I'll have to look into it some more...thanks. Hi, many soundcards offer mirroring the line-in or mic-in directly on the output. Thus hearing them through the speaker does not mean that you are actually capturing from them. It just simply means that the soundcard routes the line-in signal directly back to the output. Read the emu10k1 page in the AlsaDrivers section on alsa.opensrc.org. It should have info on how to use the emu10k1 mixer [which is a beast] correctly.. Good luck, flo -- Palimm Palimm!
