Thanks Sly


I have yet to see the onboard Realtek sound fail in only one input like that. Typically, the entire set of available Inputs fails altogether at one time. This makes sense, actually, because the whole audio mixing thing is done on one chip.

Did you look into the Recording Properties window?

*When you double-click on the little Speaker icon in the taskbar, it first brings up only the Playback mixer.

*The Playback mixer has a menu across the top of it, to get to the Record Properties select Options->Properties, then select Record Properties with the Radio button, then follow the trail to where you actually activate Inputs by checking them to be True.
