    Greetings:

I think is good info to check mixer settings.  Here I was running qsstv (very 
beautiful program) and have many problems getting sync.  I emailed the hacker 
and he told me the autosync function doesn't work very well.  I gave it up 
and it works pretty good once it does sync.  It has been a long time since 
then, and I can't recall if he had more plans to make it work better or not.  
Yet some of the problem was my mixer control on my sb32 using Kmix from KDE.  
I use "RecMon" to set the level of the input not the "Microphone".  If I add 
Mic gain, it actually causes the input to feed directly to the output.  This 
is always a sorted situation!

On a different subject:  I wonder if anyone has had experience comparing an 
sb32 and an sb128(live)?  Is there any real differences in the two cards that 
would matter for using them for ham radio programs like psk31 and sstv?

Last, but not least, I've a new system on the way that includes a onboard 
sound chip. I intend to include my sb pci card also.  Has anyone used both a 
media player (like xmms) and a ham program (sstv or psk) at the same time?  
Just wondering what your own experiences were.

tnx and 73
