I'm revisiting this because there didn't seem to have been any
suggestions as to a possible fix. Marko seconded the multitude of
sliders and commented on the linear versus exponential volume slider,
while Tim pointed out that you really do want a logarithmic slider, not
linear. But, we still don't have a solution for my initial problem
posted below. And I'd also like to add something else I noticed today:
SB Live! has two speaker outputs, labeled channel 1 and 2. Under XP, I
can get both channels to work simultaneously (and thus allowing me to
use 2 sets of speakers.) But no amount of slider configuration or
turning on or off of the little red and green indicators would output
sound on the second channel - everything's on the first one. So...is
that another undocumented "feature"? Something missing?
