recording audio with SoundBlaster Live/pcm cards: has anyone triedthis?

[paul beard]

I have been working on recording vinyl LPs to digital files but have run into a problem. It turns out I misread the cryptic runes on the back of the sound card and was actually recording through the mic jack. It worked as far as I could tell -- I got sound -- but I now have audio that sounds suspiciously like mono.

So after tracking down the manual for the card (an SB Live! Gamer or Platinum w/o the Live drive), I am now using the line in and running the audio through an stereo receiver. But now nothing registers on the level indicators in gramofile.

According to Creative's open source site, audio in and out is supported, but there's "supported" and "proven to work." Anyone have any experience with this or troubleshooting ideas I should be aware of?
