Re: struggling with gMFSK setup

Kind of a progress report on my initial query. 

I had to do some stumbling about to get myself set up my soundcard to
record so that I might perform a test on my soundcard. I was
eventually able to record and playback sound from my transceiver, and
so the soundcard is working. 

However, I found that if my transceiver (FT-817) audio was at all up,
it triggered the PTT LED on my SignaLink interface, at which point it
blocked sound getting to my sound cards' Mike conenction. As a result,
the volume level on my transceiver had to be turned most of the way
down, and as a result, only a very weak signal was recorded. However,
by cranking Playback volume levels up very high for my soundcard
driver and the Play volume high on my sound recording software, I was
able to hear the signal. It seems the soundcard is working, but not
absolutely sure the levels were adjusted right.

I set my FT-817 to Dig Mode and have my SignaLink interface connected
as directed. For my soundcard driver, I set the Playback mike level to
zero, master volume to 75% and PCM/Wave Volume initially to zero. I
then advance it to the point the SignaLink PTT LED goes on - it never
does. 

So I'm back to where I started, only with the assurance that my
soundcard _seems_ to be working. I'm about to check with SignaLink
tech support.
