Folks, I basically have three questions that I managed to wrap up in a lot of words. Here they are. I finally started to get things going towards having a PC for recording music. So I got a M-Audio 1010LT. I'm using SuSE 10.0, so it was only a matter of selecting the card in Yast to have it going with envy24control. I also got a pair of M-Audio speakers, the Studio Pro 3 kind and although I like them (makes a great change from what I'm used to so far i.e. a flurry of Creative speakers) one of them is not working so I'll return them to the stop and since they don't seem to have any other I'll end up getting the M-Audio DX4 speakers. Anyhow, I also got a M-Audio Pulsar mic for the accoustic guitars I have. Upon reading the booklet that comes along, I found out that it needs what's called a phantom 48v power supply. I presume the 1010LT does not deliver that, so it's basically useless to try to connect the mic directly to one of the mic input of the card, is it ? I have to get a 'box' that supplies this power supply. Are these boxes outputting through a XLR jack or will I use a RCA input of the 1010LT for the mic ? Also, does any one have a link on how to setup jack for a SuSE 10.0 system ? Starting one of the jack applications complains that jack is not there. Yast does not seem to have anything about it. And finally, now that I get good sound from the speaker (singular at the moment!) can I also get treeble/bass/EQ control of that sound ? Looks like envy24control does not have these settings. Cheers, Al
