I'll admit to being a bit confused by envy24control at first, too. I'll
try to answer these questions at home tonight while sitting in front of
my audiobox. I could try to answer from memory .... but it wouldn't be
much use to you I'm afraid. 8-)

I think the thing that helped me most was reading through the manual for
my card and matching up the capabilities described with the controls in
envy24control.
