Dave - That's interesting. I just installed the Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit
card about a week ago, and the Writelog sound card test gives me a 7b. Says
"Failed to find a wave mute switch on the output mixer". So one can't route
the mic through to two radios on the L/R soundboard outputs.
I don't run two radios, so I just kept it, it was cheap enough.
