Well, you either have a newer card than I do or there is something else really weird. I have 4 eighth inch jacks and the game/midi connector. I have the output of my DoubleTalk speaker going through a matching transformer into the line-in. I have the built-in aplifier of the system output from the microphone going into mic-in, I have the main-out from the sound card going into the built-in amplifier of the system for my built-in speakers and I have the rear-out of the card going into a rf transmitter which powers remote speakers on the head-board in my bedroom. Now Chuck and I corresponded a bit off list and I told him I am using the 0.9beta6 alsa drivers. However, it worked as well when I was using 0.5.10b. I recommend the 0.9beta6 drivers for anyone with a sblive because they give you individual control over the virtual pcm devices for volume. I can be listening to freeamp and when someone starts talking on the reflector I can turn down the volume of freeamp without affecting speak freely. That's how it works for me. YMMV!
