I've been playing with it quite a lot but it's pretty elusive, can

somebody shed som light on how to record using sb live platinum

liveDrive (front panel). I can get it to record but the levels are very

low (vu meter goes to about 25%), even when I put the slider to max. I

have the same problem with mic and phono pre-amp.
   at one point I was able to make it record with 'normal' loudness so I

guess it's possible but I wasn't able to figure out how I did it that

one time :-(
   I was using alsmixer to set the recording levels and sources (was

playing with both capture and playback controls)
   Not sure if it matter but when I set playback for liveDrive line2 the

output goes to speakers with 'normal' loudness (i.e. a lot louder than

what is being recorded).
   this is on debian unstable using alsa in kernel 2.6.11,

/proc/asound/version says Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver

Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC).
   any ideas? TIA!
