[WriteLog] Audigy 4 problem?

[Jerry Pixton]

Any one using an Creative Audigy 4 sound card with Writelog,

Last week I replaced two old Creative 16 PCI cards in one of my office 
computers with two Audigy 4 cards and moved the computer over to run the HF 
radios.

Every thing was working fine for RTTY as I was setting up other ham 
programs. But when I went to check out SSB I got a howl. My microphone is 
being routed to the sound card and switched to the active radio by 
Writelog. I remembered from way back that one had to mute the Line In 
channel on the playback side to remove this feedback. That worked fine for 
the microphone, wave files and my DVK. Got things balanced between the two 
radios. All ok.

But then I went back to RTTY and no audio was getting to the Record channel 
(which is a mix of Line In, CD, Aux, etc). After thinking I had somehow 
zapped the card with RF, I reinstalled the drivers and things started 
working until I went to SSB again. Last night when I should have been 
sleeping I remembered the Line In Mute on the Playback side.

It seems the Playback mute also mutes the Line In to the Record side. 
UGH.  I recall there was one of the early sound cards that we were testing 
that did this also.

I can not seem to see any ini params to get Writelog to control that 
Playback function. And I guess I really don't expect any.

Before I conclude that I just bought two sound cards that will not work 
with Writelog, has any one been successful in using an Audigy 4 with 
Writelog. In the meantime, I am going to pull the Santa Cruz card out of 
the other computer, to replace the card being controlled by Writelog, so I 
can chase the VU7.
