I invoked the suite of programs that came with the card and selected "Creative Mixer". By clicking on the icon at the top left of the window you obtain a menu which includes "Recording Settings". Following this yields the AGC enable/disable facility. It may be that a given clone will allow an eqivalent way in, or it may not even have an AGC facility at all. I do not know the Windows API way of handling this, the Multimedia Reference that came with my C++ Builder has nothing on it. Use the AGC facility with care and do not overload the input or you get terrible effects. It is a pity that soundcards do not limit in the way that op-amps do. 73 Lionel G3PPT
