[AG-TECH] Windows XP audio feedback

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

The mixer panel determines what is going to the (analogue) output,
I guess.  For those looking for the panel, amongst numerous ways
of getting to it there is

	Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds & Audio Devices

go to the Volume tab, then select Advanced 
in the Device volume bordered region
(as opposed to Advanced in the Speaker settings bordered region!).

Cheers

Chris
