Stingx, thx for the link to that forum, i tried something suggested there and it worked! In mono... So i just got back from radio shack, had to buy 2 sets of dual 1/4 inch adapters so i can record in stereo and playback in stereo. I was looking forward to finally getting something done, and alas it does not work again. Patchmix is telling me its reading in stereo, both L and R channels are recieving signals but im only getting sound from the left channel. Then i noticed its trying to force a stereo signal through the left channel only... this card is making me crazy. I just want to plug my guitar into my comp so i can record some mp3s and maybe even create a demo of my own. But nooooo.... i guess im giving this card a bad review, customer support has been no help, they think the card is defective. Thought everyone should know, beware this card.
