^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My SBLive will record from line-in, or the microphone. You control
which one via software.

So far I've found info on about 11 different cards that all call
themselves SBLive! None of the info describes the custom OEM version
made for Gateway, the one that has different jacks on the back.

(I do it on Linux, so I'm not sure how exactly you'd change it. But
the odds are good that it can record.)

Yep, probably just a simple matter of programming. But since the card
is undocumented it makes the programming choices a bit harder. I suppose
I could spend the next several months toggling toggling bits at random
in hope that I stumble on the right combination. Or I can buy anyother
audio card.

Got any suggestions on a good card for ham use?

Get the generic SBLive! installer from Creative's web site.
When you install it, make sure you install SB16 emulation.
This works for Windows. For Linux you may need to check
that the specific CTxxxx number has support.

Details on the different cards can often be found via
a Google of their CTxxxx number.

I've picked up a number of the older "SBLive! Gamer Value"
variety on eBay, generally for about $10 - $12. These are pretty
generic versions of the Live!, and have the four jacks instead of 3.
Was going to check CT number, but all are in computers right now.
CT4670 or 4560 sounds kinda familiar.
