I checked a bit and found my Xonar U7 mic level was at 0.  Never had
checked it before since WSJT-X seemed happy-as-a-clam decoding stuff with
the level at 30.  Bumped it up and Audacity now shows -.2 to .2 and can
hear it without cranking up the speakers.  I've got the level at 70 on the
Xonar now and of course had to crank down the digital gain a fair bit.
