I'm sure you've tried it already, but just for
the record: I've
noticed with one of those sound cards that the slider (on alsamixer)
labeled 'Capture' causes to feed the output back in. It should be
record-disabled (I'm not sure, but IIRC just bringing the slider all
the way down doesn't do the trick) while it is record-enabled by
default(?). I think.
I've tried it (it's an on/off setting toggled by hitting the SPACE bar), but
it KILLS THE LINE INPUT AUDIO completely!!
How annoying. It's completely counter to what you'd expect too. I'm amazed
that there's no way to record from the LINE IN jack and output audio onto
the LINE OUT w/o having the LINE-IN audio mixed with the audio output. Is
it just I, or is that really bizarre?
Even The Dark Lord finds motherboard audio too difficult,
