Hello Dave, Issues 1) to 3) are related to the soundcard and its device driver. It seems to me that you are using ALSA under X11 and I have no experience at all with that. As far as I understand many people use it without any problems, I hope you have solved those problems by now.
Under 2) you write "the S meter remains at full scale at all times, and there is no way I can reduce it except to turn my TS2000 audio all the way down." This is a fundamental problem inherent in all PC dsp systems. The signal level has to match the sensitivity of your soundcard. Unplug your TS2000 from your soundcard and note where the noise floor is located in the main spectrum (with blue dB scale lines) Then connect the cable and see by how much the noise floor is lifted. In case you see it lifted by more than about 20 dB, you are feeding too much signal into the soundcard. There are volume controls in the mixer program, but it mat not always be safe to set them extremely low because something could saturate earlier in the soundcard..... You should NOT use the microphone input. It is far too sensitive with too much noise and it may contain an audio AGC that would disturb processing. In case the line input is too sensitive, just use two resistors to attenuate the loudspeaker signal by a suitable amount. Place for example 100 ohms between the center conductor and the outer conductor very close to the soundcard connector. Then connect the center conductor to the loudspeaker output through 1000 ohms for 20 dB attenuation. Maybe you find the S-meter at full scale even when the hardware signal levels are properly set. Then you should use the control boxes in the S-meter graph. Use F1 with the mouse on a box to find out what it is intended to do. 4) Moving the linrad windows is not very convenient. You have to move the border lines one by one.
