I have had the same problem you describe. I have tried the same thing with the long options as well and no luck. I even tried rec and still only got audio on one channel. I can hear both chanels when I unmute line in. If you find a solution please let me know. On Fri, May 24, 2002 at 06:52:49PM +0100, 'Georgina' wrote: > Hi > > Thanks for your response.
