I am currently using alsa 0.9.0rc2. I was having trouble recording analog signals on my input line of my Soundblaster Live! card--they would record but the signal was too hotif I recorded an FM station it was distorted. I did eventually solve the problem by backing down my values on the sound control Capture. Lowering the values on Line by the way, had no noticeable effect. So what happened to the 'Line Input' sound control? I know this is more a question for the Alsa people, but I wanted to ask here first, to see if anyone had any insight. Also, if someone could point me to the documentation that tells how to load sound fonts into the wavetable of the Soundblaster Live! I'd appreciate it. The sound fonts in Timidity are okay, but I suspect I could achieve better sound using the hardware wavetable on the sblive. Thanks again for all of your help with my modules.conf problems of a few days ago. Everything is loading fine. Jim Wantz WB0TFK
