Yes, I think it sounds like hardware mixing too, but from everything 
I've read today it seems like it is software. I'm still very confused 
about this whole issue and I'm  going to start a new thread about it 
once I do some more reading. Thanks for your post though Andres and 
hopefully when I post again with some more information you will be able 
to give some more input.
