Hi, Yes, but does Linux support a mixer setup like you're describing? I know it will support a Sound Blaster Audigy, but I'm not familiar with the other card. I have a very good sound card designed for recording but it only has Windows drivers. I'm completely unfamiliar with using a mixer and I have no idea if it works in Linux. I know ALSA supports most sound devices and it has its own alsamixer, but I don't know much about hardware mixers except that they've been recommended and a basic idea of how they work. Pointers to articles on setting up a nice audio system with accessible tools in Linux would be greatly appreciated. The keyword here is accessible because I don't know of any currently accessible GUI audio tools for Linux at the moment. farhan Khan wrote: > Hello, having a mixer would fix a lot of your soundcard problems. > I normally use headphones when I edit anything though. > The soundcards I have in my machine are a soundblaster 24bit, and the > delta 2496. > The soundblaster is for all the useless sound like screenreaders, > windows sounds whatever. > The delta does all the music and editing stuff.
