=======================
1. If you are using Sound Blaster Pro card, make sure to use MIC
for recording. The current driver works only with MIC-In recording.
CD-In and Line-In will be available when the mixer application is
ready.
2. If you are using Sound Blaster Pro card and the VOLUME CONTROL
application from Microsoft to control the volume, please note
that the application did not identify certain auxiliary devices
from the mixer and named it as AUX.
What the AUX devices are when running the VOLUME CONTROL is as follows
┌────────┬──────┬───────┬─────┬─────┬────┬─────────┬─────┬─────┐
│ Master │ Wave │ Synth │ Aux │ Aux │ CD │ Line-in │ Aux │ Aux │
