Argh! I spent ages working through various combinations and
had no idea what Peter was referring to... until I looked at
the alsamixer F5 All screen... and there was "AC97 Capture"!
Why on earth is that setting missing from the F4 Capture screen ?

The F4 page shows the capture toggles for AC'97 sources.
These share a common gain slider (Capture). The Capture
"buss" has it's own toggle which can be used as a master toggle for all
AC'97
record sources.
Digital sources (including PCM sources like Wave and Music) can all be armed
individually.

The playback section sliders for the sources in question provide the initial
gain level to the capture buss. The rest of the sources have individual
independent sends.
Additionally:
If you look at how things are set up with a LiveDrive, the headphone buss
is functionally equivalent to how you'd have things set up in a studio, which
is sensible. It taps off of the record capture. One can set up an independent
mix for the speakers and the headphones, and record buss.
If anybody is interested in a more in depth explanation I'll try and write up
a web page
Anyone know what the difference between these are
?
