Hi: If the Indigo_IOX is like the Indigo IO, then there should be a utility called EchoMixer that you can/should use. It's in the alsa-tools-gui package.... Good Luck! <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 7:25 AM, Susan Cragin <<a href="mailto:susancragin@earthlink.net">susancragin@earthlink.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">>> My soundcard is the indigoiox.
