What? W7ZR getting into SO2R? The church is going to fall down!

I got similar ominous-sounding results from Soundboardcheck on a
SoundBlaster 24, but it works fb, with Heil mic to mic in, left
channel driving the left radio, and right channel driving the right
radio. On-the-fly recording, and live/prerecorded switching work fb.

I think the best thing to do is give it a try, and see if it works for
you. My nVidia onboard sound has all the right features, but there is
a little digital noise on the output, so I don't use it for SSB.
