As it just so happens, I have the hardware manual for Sound Blasters,
up to and including SB16. Hmm, there are some interesting
switches here. There are 2 bits of mic volume at bits d1 and d2 of
mixer register 0xa. At 0xc. there's 2 bits for input source at d1 and
d2. WHere 0,2 = mic, 1=cd input, and 3 = line in. This is probably
the problem. I'll bet mixer register 0xc defaults to 0. Also, there
a bit for low pass filter at 0xc in bit d3, which should be set to 1 for
off.
At 0xe, it d5 set to 1 for output low pass filter OFF, and bit d1
is 0 for MONO out.
