Under Linux, I used to get all channels in the mixer. Recently I get only two.

Under FreeBSD I got he front channel only.

I didn't care since I don't use the rear. The show-stopper for me with FreeBSD
and the Live! is the noise. I get little clicks and static when playing mp3's
for example. It's not a lot, but it's enough to annoy me.

I wondered if it was incomplete mixer support, because you can cause problems
like that under Windows if you overdrive anything with your setup.

Right now I cannot get my Live! working 100% right under UNIX because
none of the drivers have full mixer support. Since I don't have Windows
any more, I cannot set things and then reboot either.

Anyone else figure out how to access a full mixer with either FreeBSD or
Linux? Full support for it's hardware mixer means controlling about five
channels I believe.
