Hey Robin, This is the same problem that Dfox ran into. I never saw the problem from the beginning because the aureal drivers put my card in duplex mode. I wasn't aware of the situation until I read Dfox's email describing his difficulties. This is the reason I stopped using the drivers shipped with the kernel, even though they worked for me, and started looking for a universal solution. OSS was what I found; a sound solution "for the masses." No matter what the capabilities of your soundcard, the OSS drivers can virtualize the dsp devices and give you loopback recording. As I was saying b4, they provide a uniform interface across all soundcards, be they cheap or expensive. They cost a little money, but IMO it's well worth it. I bought a license and I certainly have never regretted it. The main OSS developer, Dev Mazumdar, is a fantastic guy and he's been a good friend to me. He's busy, but he always seems to have time to help. AAMOF I'm recording Rush right now. ;) --LX P.S. If anybody wants to check out Rush, he's on the air between 12 and 3 EST on WLS 890 AM Chicago.
