It is very simple,.

The audio output from the 570 can be fed to the mic input or line input on the 
sound card. If you feed the audio from the headphone or external speaker jack 
on the 570, the output level is controlled by the volume control on the radio. 
If you feed it from pi 3 (signal) and pin 4 (gnd) on the 13 pin ACCY jack on 
the back of the radio, you get a constant level output unaffected by the volume 
control. This is the best way to do it. 

Once you feed the audio into the sound card, it is simply a matter of adjusting 
the input level by adjusting the appropriate slider on the "recording" tab, and 
then adjusting slider for the proper output level to the headphones. You have 
to make sure the "playback" slider you sleect matches the same one used for the 
input, either "mic in" or "line in".

Hi Peter:

It's interesting how the obvious solution can escape one. I just connected the 
output of my 570 to the input of my computer's sound card and it works fine. I 
then connected my headphones to the sound card's output and have the precise 
setup I was looking for. I can control the audio level from both the radio and 
the computer. I wondered if I might hear unwanted audio from the transmitter 
but I'm not.

Thanks to everyone for your help. And Rob, I sent my reply to your note before 
I'd read Peter's and Herman's notes. It's a bad habit I've always had - to 
reply to notes as I see them rather than to read all incoming e-mail first. :-)

Cheers & 73s,

Steve VE3KC
