Watching While recording?

How do I go about watching a show while it is beeing recorded?
The FAQ says to mute the line in so you hear the processed audio, not the live audio. This makes sense.
However, when I mute the line in, I don't hear anything. This also means the recorded video has no audio. :)
Here are my audio settings using alsamixer:
Master and PCM unmuted
Line set to record and muted
Capture set to record

Am I doing something obviously wrong? Should I be using a mixer other than the alsamixer? If so, which one?
I'm using an Avermedia TV/FM98 and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz in Gentoo.

Ok. I got it figured out.
With my card I need (or at least this works):
Line set to record and muted.
Capture set to record (enables capturing)
ADC Set to record
-----------------
This will record audio and allow me to watch it as it is being recorded.
hehe.
There's just too many mixer options for this card. :)

Did you turn the volume up on "Capture"?

yeah.
Guess it's just a matter of figuring out your particular card.
