Red means it's too high - it should be in the green, or marginally red.  
More worrying, though, is that it doesn't seem to be recognising the 
channels.  I'll look back through my archived mail and see if there is 
anything there about the driver for Audigy LS.  The problem with Creative 
Labs, of course, is that they market differing cards under the same name.  
I've not seen the name CA0106 before.  A quick google, though, brings lots 
of links -

The top one looks helpful.

I would have thought that the only thing you could screw up is your sound 
system, and it's already screwed up ;-)

Take a look at the links I've given you, and come back if I can help any 
more.
