Basically, I can record from my mic/line-in, but I can't actually hear the audio on my speakers till I play back the recorded audio clip. It's always been like this on this machine, but I never thought about it much till I hooked up a TV-tuner to the line-in. I see nothing like a "monitor" control. I've read some things on-line that suggest not all HDA audio chips have this ability which seems... well... silly.

Any suggestions?

I have a TV tuner with a cable to line-in. line-in is blue jack, and I can hear it some mixer changes**. However, your mixer is very bare. Try adding "hdaudio_noskip=7" line to oss_hdaudio.conf and see if you have more settings.

ossmix jack.blue.mode input
ossmix misc.input-mix-mute1 OFF
ossmix misc.linein and misc.front control volume.

I get a few extra mixer controls but the only "misc" control is simply "misc" still:

Still no audio passthrough, no matter how I play with ossxmix.

I have, at least for the time being, gotten around this by using 'rec -p | play -p' while recording audio.
