Hmm, do you use Alsa now? Anyway, I think I will send some questions to the support team and ask what sorts of things could cause the behavior I'm experiencing. For now, I've switched back to the stock drivers, which work, but have their limits. Besides not having good full duplex support, I've found no mixer that lets me unmute and mute the mike so that I can choose whether I want to monitor what is being received by the mike on the speakers. I can tell that Alsa has a lot of potential, but when I posted that message last night, I was a bit frustrated at my problems. Sure, switching to a SB live would probably help out, but this is an old computer, and all 4 of its PCI slots are currently in use. I suppose I could remove the modem since I have cable Internet now, and I've actually considered doing just that. However, that is skirting the issue. Perhaps the reason that newer versions of Alsa have issues with the AWE64 is because everybody has stopped using that card. We'll just see what the developers say.
