hello ray,

can you give me some more details about the device driver you ar using for the sound card?

according to me you must download the latest driver for the sound card. the one you had was for windows xp and now that you have upgraded to windows vista you need to download the driver for this platform..

hope this helps you

Thanks for the reply. I haven't upgraded to Vista, I have a whole new computer with its own sound card.  All the wiring I have did work with XP..a long audio cable that runs from all my audio/video equipment and terminates into the proper tiny plug that does fit into the back of the computer.  My computer is a current model Gateway, and Gateway would offer me no support.

Hi Ray,  Did you get your line input to working?  I have an Emachines T3616 with Windows Vista Home Basic and my line input does not work either.  I would appreciate any help you or anyone else can give me,  I tried searching for updated drivers but was told I had the latest drivers.  My line input did work until about a month ago and then quit and I've been pulling my hair out (don't have much to begin with) trying to get it working again.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I had this problem also but I finaly ggot it hacked out. The answere is

Vista defaults to the mic input then turns it off ???

Go into control panel - sounds - recorder   you will find either the mic input with green check and unavailable.

click on the line input and set to default.
 This fixed my system - I dont know why they hide this stuff

buy a mac... this feature which you think would be standard is and it will work every time the way you want it to. 

Better shelf life.
Better OS.
Better Hardware.
Better.

I have free program called audiograbber (access via the internet) and once program open go to file/line in sampling and then choose mixer.This then shows "record control" and can click on box to select line in.
This certainly worked for me but maybe too easy and you guys have further problems.
