[SBE] Sound card issue -- Tell me I'm not crazy!

[Curt Yengst]

It suddenly occurs to me that the reason for my trouble may be that, while the sound card is full-duplex (allowing similtaneous record and playback), it is NOT multi-client; that is, it is unable to be used by more than one app at a time.  So playing back in one program while recording in another would not work.  

Is there a way to use the Windows sound mixer to "cheat" around this?

 While I use different hardware than you are, I have found that setting
 the wrong record source ( which MAY not be so intuitive ) will cause this.

 For instance, Audacity does this easily *if* the record input device is
 set to the "volume control" and NOT to the actual input device.
 If the selected input device is the actual input device ( say, line in )
 then it doesn't work at all.

 Just some thoughts from the peanut gallery..........

If we all work together, we can totally disrupt the system.
