Hi Malcolm. I don't know if you ever got your problem
resolved, but I have the same audio chipset, and I discovered
this:
In my mixer (I'm using the KDE sound mixer) there are a bunch
of sliders, some with record buttons underneath. If I use the
line-in slider ('Line' on my mixer) with the record button on,
I get the results you're talking about.
BUT!!!
If I turn on the record button under the 'Line' slider, but
leave the slider all the way down and instead use the slider
marked 'IGain', then my line-in signal goes into the recording
but *NOT* directly through to the line out. Semms a little
odd to me, but that's how I was able to avoid the scenario
you seem to be having trouble with.
Lemme know if this helps.
Toodles,
