Yeah, I have it set up correctly. It's just that WL does not select the R
channel when I select the R entry window. Again, it's not the soundcard -- I
can see the two different signals that are on the two channels when I look
at the VU meters in the Recording Control window. You can display this
windows by doing the following:

1. Double-click on the speaker icon in the tray to bring up the full Volume
Control window.
2. Pull down the Options menu and select Properties. This will display the
Properties window.
3. Click the second radio button down -- "Recording" and Click OK. The
Recorning Control Window will be displayed.

This feature could be dependent on the drivers that run your soundcard. I
think the driver has to have mixer software. In mine, the mixer pull-down
list in the Properties window says, "DS-XG Mixer". I'm using a Dell
Dimension XPS with a Yamaha soundboard.

I'll ask again: Does anybody have a clue why WL can't select the R channel
in my system? Wayne?
