Is this expected? ". Yes and no. The "yes" part is: if you want to hear PCM stream from a digital source (.wav, .ogg, .flac, .mp3 file through some kind of player). The "no" part is: if you want to hear sound from mic/line in - for these on 7.1 you have to follow the instructions I gave. I can't advise on 5.1 since I don't have the card. --Sergei. -- Visit my http://appsfromscratch.berlios.de/ open source project. Just to make things (hopefully) more clear: "H/W", "H/W 1" are indeed left and right channels, for both PCM playback and line-in. Microphone input is mono, it is digitized by both "H/W", "H/W 1" if you set them to be "H/W In 0", "H/W In 1". The card by itself does not have HW mixing, so there is no simple way (though it might be possible through 'dmix', I haven't tried) to simultaneously hear line in and PCM out in the same "H/W" or "H/W 1" channel. For example, when I use Skype, I set, say "H/W" -> "H/W In 0" (left), "H/W 1" -> "PCM Out" (right), so in my left ear I hear myself from my microphone and in my right ear I hear the person I'm talking to as PCM Out. --Sergei. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
