The Volume slider of the Recording Control is duplicated in the
demodulator Setup panel (where it is labeled Input level).
Please pay great attention to the sound card set-up, as most initial
problems associated with using this type of receiver can be attributed to an
incorrect sound card setting. Typical problems include:
• Not selecting the Mixer device or Mixer line correctly (which will
manifest itself by the absence of any signal appearing in the spectrum
scope);
• Failing to adjust the Input level properly, which may result either in low
(or no) audio output, or, on the other hand, distortion if the signal level is
too high.

The ubiquitous PC sound card was invented in Singapore by Sim Wong Hoo,
engineer and entrepreneur, who founded the Creative Technology company in 1981.
His first product, an Apple computer clone, did not take off. However, his second
product, the PC sound card, hit its target well: More than 120 million sound cards
have been shipped by Creative Technology, mostly under the Sound Blaster brand.
