are you referring to the hardware level monitoring, related to the
VU-meter display of the windows mixer app? Did you get it to work on
Linux? Because that is one feature that seems to be missing from the
Linux driver. Unless of course, the Windows app just calculates the
volume bars from the input audio streams.
