The audio hardware routing on this pc is an absolute bitch, it has to be said.Shared input and output channels just aren't very clever, if you ask me.
It's all very well if you wanna watch dvd movies with surround sound, but when you wanna plug in a stereo sound source other than a mic, it becomes a total nightmare, with all kinds of feedback problems, or software simply refusing to take a feed from the auxilliary inputs.
I discovered what a pain in the arse it is today, coz I picked up a cheap little record deck, with the intention of ripping all the best tracks from my old vinyl collection onto mp3.
For a while it looked like I wasn't gonna be able to do it, and this would've been a disaster, as I bought this pc specifically with the intention of using it to record my own music.
Eventually I managed to get Cubase to accept an input from the stereo line-in at the back, so all is not lost, but it makes something of a mockery of all the other fancy inputs scattered around the thing.
