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.

be sure the mute isn't on by accident. I can't count the times I have rebooted, and checked cables due to no sound..... only to find out that somehow I had accidentally clicked the MUTE button my mistake and didn't realize it.

Although my favorite "duuuuuh moment" was a few months back.... no sound.... but the meters were bouncing, and the lights on the headphone amp were flashing all indicating there was signal..... but nothing in the headphones..... I cranked the volume know up to 100%....I even rebooted the entire rig..... nothing..... not even the tiniest whisper in the cans..... I took off the headphones and started to wrap up the cord.....when I realized the headphone jack was plugged into the laptop and not the headphone amp...... yeah... it happens...
