OK, so here's the abridged short version of the
story.
Due to very convoluted reasons which, don't worry,
I won't bore you with, I have to use my line in jack on my desktop machine for
monitoring a certain source which I always have patched to my PC.
This is not a matter of guesswork. It's not even a
recording audio thing. I'm basically running a device through line in to provide
a source to hear it through my speakers. We'll just leave it at
that.
Anyway, In Windows, I obviously can unute the
playback on my line in, and therefore monitor anything coming into that
jack.
Without physically recording, is there a way that I
can monitor my line in jack on Ubuntu 16.04 much the same way? The main reason
I'm really hesitant to blow Windows off this machine entirely is because I
cannot afford to lose my line in monitoring. If! provided this is possible,
then, I seriously may consider installing on this box. I just need to make
double dog sure!
Chris.
