Yes, I can't believe how ugly the SBLive mixing interface looks in all
the generic ALSA mixer programs. Zillions of cryptically labeled
controls, yuck. You want to make your card stop "capturing" the mix
input, and capture the Live Drive line in. I don't have the Live Drive,
so I capture regular "line". In "gamix", the mixer that has confused
me
slightly less than the others, I have to turn "AC 97 Capture" all the
way up, "AC 97 Playback" all the way down, find the box that says just
plain "Capture", set the choice menus in the box to "Line", make
sure
the little box is "on" (dark gray instead of light gray), and adjust the
volume sliders (still in the Capture box) to somewhere in the middle.
But I see there is a separate area for dealing with "Line / LiveDrive
Capture" so to record from there, who knows? Logically you would want to
turn off the Capture thing I use (light gray in the little square below
the volume sliders) and enable the LiveDrive Capture (dark gray in both
little squares above the other volume sliders). Confused? Me too!

Hi,
Sorry, but I'm tearing out my hair here! :-) I've read quite a lot
about this, but I can't seem to understand/find the answer.
I can record from the Line in of my Live Drive, but I would like to
record _just_ the audio coming in and not any other audio playing on the
system. I would like to hear the backing track though my head phones
and then record through the line in, but the recording always records
everything coming out of my speakers. Is this possible? If so what
mixer settings should I have?
Seeing lots of people producing good music with there SBLive is making
me jealous!! :-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks,
Pete
