Hi Steven and Chris,

I've found that my live card does interesting things with the settings
from aumix. In order to get sound out of the front&back speakers at the
same time, I need to fiddle with the line2, line3 and digital2 settings.
These seem to do some fading from front to rear.

Here are my findings:

Line2 and digital2 seem to adjust front volume, independant of rear.

line3 fades from front to back, where 100 is full front, and 0 is full
rear.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this happens on their sbLive cards too?
