Hi Frederick

I dont have a Soundblaster Card, but I think I read somewhere a while ago,
that you need to select 'Record what you hear' in the control Panel, or
something like that. Certainly SB cards are not great.


I've recorded from a Sky+ to an SB Audigy via an optical SPDIF connection
and it worked fine. There are two "Windows Mixer" control panels. One is the
"Playback" panel which includes "sliders" for each of the enabled sound
sources with a tickbox mute option on each, the other is the "record" panel
which includes sliders for each of the enabled sources and a tick-box to
select the source. One of those sliders is called "What-U-Hear" or somesuch
phrase, but if recording from SPDIF it's better to select the SPDIF input
direct.

David.
