Talkback through Mic-In

artvolk · Jan 18, 2005, 09:58 PM

hi, everybody!

I'm using SBLive 5.1's line-in to record from preamp. The AC-97's outputs are directly routed to ASIO. Mic and vocalist are situated in neighbour room, so I need some kind of talkback.

How can I use noisy mic-in to tell something to vocalist without recording this trought AC-97. I don't want to use some external mixer to mix talkback sound to headphones mix, I'd like to make this inside PC.

you'll need a second soundcard for that

Ok! I think I'll better solder a simple outboard mixer

It will be cheaper.

And another one question. I've noticed that sound through headphones out (same as center\sub on SBLive 5.1) is not as good as from front\rear. What DAC does this output use?

on the SB live! 5.1, the same DAC operates the front and sub/center outputs
