Yep - missing something obvious..... well it's Windows so nothing is
obvious, but it is simple.
Double click on the speaker icon (bottom right on the task-bar) to bring up
the mixer.
>From the Options menu in the mixer, pick "Properties"
There'll be a window with options to adjust volume for "Playback" or
"Recording". Click on "Recording" then on "OK" to close the window.
The mixer will have changed. Now put a tick under the aux. volume in the box
labelled "select".
Better? :o)
