Hi James, thanks for the work, I'm looking forward to exploiting one such card. However, the comments in ca0106_main.c confused me somewhat. Let me quote: ,---- | Notes on how to capture sound: | The AC97 is used in the PLAYBACK direction. | | The output from the AC97 chip, instead of reaching the | speakers, is fed into the Philips 1361T ADC. | | So, to record from the MIC, set the MIC Playback volume to | max, unmute the MIC and turn up the MASTER Playback | volume. | | So, to prevent feedback when capturing, minimise the | "Capture feedback into Playback" volume. '---- First of all, the above sounds like this card wasn't full duplex, which probably isn't the case. (?) Apart from that, there are no MIC or MASTER controls, only ANALOG/SPDIF Front/Rear/Center/Unknown (without mute toggles), several recording source selectors (AC97, SPDIF, I2C, I2C Mixer, whatnot), the Capture feedback and a Mic/Line in selector. How should I set all these up, especially what source should I set 'capture' on? -- Thanks a lot, Feri. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
