I just bought and installed the Platinum and Live!Drive. It's a nice setup but I've encountered an annoyance and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they resolved it. There are 2 microphone inputs, one on the SBLive! card itself and a Mic2 on the Live!Drive. I use Game Voice and other applications which require a mic so it's a no-brainer that I prefer to plug into the Mic2 jack on the Live!Drive. Problem is, anytime I start an application which uses a mic input (such as Game Voice or Voice Assist) the application expects to receive its mic input from the jack on the SBLive! card (on the back of the machine). Even if I go into the Surround Mixer and select Line-in2/Microphone2 as my recording input source, the application changes it back to Microphone. Anybody else experiencing this?

I am having the same problem. Does anyone know if the front microphone input on the LiveDrive can be used with Game Voice or similar program?
