[Alsa-user] Speaker echos microphone on SBLive!

[Amos S. <am...@am...>]

Hello,

I've finally installed and got sound from my new SBLive!

My setup:

1. Debian testting with kernel 2.6.7 (alsa 1.0.4)
2. SBLive! card
3. On-board intel8x0 card which took me a while to make the system stop
configuring.

I got sound from the new SBLive just fine on a couple of speakers
connected to its green output socket.

I also manage to record through a microphone connected to the card's
pink socket.

But when I talk to the microphone, even with no application recording
at all, the speakers echo what I say, feels like sort of a Kareyoki(sp?)
system.

A recording program did record what I said to the mic.

I played with alsamixer as much as I could but couldn't get rid of this.

What can I do?

Also - the new card is listed as "card 1" and not default, even though I
think I managed to get rid of the on-board intel8x0 from having its
module loaded. I keep having to tell all applications which card to use
because they report "can't find default".  How can I set the new card as
a default?

Thanks,
