[WriteLog] Question re: Soundcards

[Eric Rosenberg]

I use a soundcard with Writelog.  The Heil mike goes straight to the Mike
In on the card, and LINE out to the radio. 

If I don't use Writelog (i.e., when I'm using DX4Win and not contesting),
or for that matter, don't turn on the computer at all, will the mike
still be looped through? 

I suppose I could check this myself, but in the grand scheme of things,
the question is whether all sound cards work alike!

Thanks,
