Thanks for your help, Bill.

If I open the listener and type in each line i.e. (set! (recorder-in-amp 
1 3) 1.0) I can get the desired results.

HOWEVER, if I put them into a .scm file and load it with snd using the 
-l command, snd loads the file.  I then go into the listener and type in 
start-recorder <enter>
The listener displays all of the data within the file BUT DOES NOT do 
anything.

What am I doing wrong???

Also to respond to your first comment about swapping the channels 
around, I must have misstated what I really meant.

What I have when I start up SND and then hit the Record button is this:  
I have 4 sets of 2 channels including 2 vu meters.  Below that I have 
the output section which is 8 channels with 8 vu meters.  On the top I 
have 2 vu meters (the first sound card) labeled 1 and 2  below them are 
the 2 sliders also 1 to 1 gain 1 and 2 to 2  gain 1 the other gains are 
set to zero.  OK so far.  The next section down I have 2 more vu meters 
(the second sound card) labeled 1 and 2.  Just below these are 2 sliders 
also 1 to 1 gain 1 and 2 to 2  gain 1 the other gains are set to zero.  
What I need is to have these 2 outputs go to channels 3 and 4.  Below 
the second section is the third section exactly the same with the 
outputs going to channels 1 and 2 instead of 5 and 6.

What is happening is all sound cards (4 of them) are being mixed 
together instead of being kept separate.


Like I said above, your "fix" works just fine when I put each command 
into the listener, but I am unable to get to work any other way.
