Bill,

That's truly a very kind offer.  Let me do a line-in test and see what
transpires and then we can talk further.  I can't see anything physically
wrong with the card (at least nothing a decent multimeter and sensitive nose
can detect) and all my cabling now checks out.  May very well be the cheap
PC mic I'm using.  =)
