I just bought an Acer Aspire X1300 running Vista SP1. Been fighting getting the right drivers for the on-board audio because I couldn't capture the CD audio. Finally punted and just ran the PC output through the Tape Input on my mixer so I could run the audio back into the PC on the Line In.
On-board audio is "Realtek High Definition Audio".

Reinstalled PT12. On the Options, Midi Devices, there are no Input Drivers. It still captures the Audio from the Line Input now (finally). Any idea why no hardware is showing up there? Any idea how I could simply record whatever sound is being played through the computer? Other suggestions? I'm trying to lay down an audio track and then add other audio tracks / vocals
