I've tried it (it's an on/off setting toggled by hitting the SPACE bar), but it KILLS THE LINE INPUT AUDIO completely!! How annoying. It's completely counter to what you'd expect too. I'm amazed that there's no way to record from the LINE IN jack and output audio onto the LINE OUT w/o having the LINE-IN audio mixed with the audio output. Is it just I, or is that really bizarre? Even The Dark Lord finds motherboard audio too difficult, =MB= -- A focus on Quality.
