Phill,

 

I tried to follow the directions for setting the volumes using Kmix.  The directions are as follows:

 

"On the mixer page, look for Line-In on your sound card. You should see two LED's - a green one at the top, and a red one at the bottom. The green one at the top is for muting; you want to make sure that the green LED is a dark green, meaning that it's "off". You also want to click on the red LED so that it turns bright red, indicating that it's "ON"; this insures that the Line-in is used as the source. Click OK, and make sure that you save the settings so that this is your default."

 

The problem is that Kmix only shows one LED, the green one at the top.

 

What do I do?

 

Ralph

Here's a link to the docco which explains it in a proper, intelligible

fashion, unlike my confusing waffle above -
