| 232948 | 2004-04-29 07:11:00 | Why is it that the line in input can't be recorded from with software but if you plug line level into the microphone port it works fine? Also why when line level is plugged into the line in it plays through line out but the microphone port does not play through the output automatically. Surely line in should mean line in and not be a through-put and the microphone port should work at microphone level, not line level. | timjenkin (5588) | ||

The problem lies with the settings in the Windows Mixer ("Start Menu-Programs-Accessories-Entertainment-Volume Control", for most versions of windows, WinXP use "All Programs' instead of Programs). What you need to do is set the "Line In" as the recording device. You can do this by going to "Options-Properties", Selecting the "Recording" radio button, making sure that "Line IN" is ticked in the list below, and clicking ok. Then in the column under "Line In" tick "Select". As with playing through speakers, it's simply a matter of how the settings are configured for playback, as above, except selecting the "Playback" radio button, and adjusting the volume and toggling mute for each device. |

| 232951 | 2004-04-30 04:10:00 | It's actually a very good idea to nothave microphone input sent out to the speakers by default. If someone has actually set the microphone to go to the speakers, they will know how to stop it if there's feedback.:D | Graham L (2) | ||
