OK - I think I got it.
Tom's email prompted me to play with the settings on the Sound Board
Mixer Control some more. It works as soon as I un-check "Exclusive"
on the "xmit(s) From PC" I can leave Exclusive checked on the DVK mic
and it works. Can't say I understand it. But it's working. I'll put
it through its paces to make sure everything holds up as expected.
