Re: No sound from Line In

Actually Paul, I can't get the sound of the tape deck through either computer. The old one, which my husband has, did work, but quit sometime after Microsoft updates. I couldn't begin to tell you which one, but I've searched the Microsoft KB and couldn't find anything there.

The line in is working fine. I used this method to test it (copied from instructions from the builder of the computer)

"To Test Sound Card Line-In Jack Using Audio Loopback (RealTek):

This technique will cause the computer to record signal emitted from the
speaker output.

1. Use a double-ended mini-DIN 8mm headphone cable.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the speaker output jack (lime)
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the line-in jack (blue)
4. Go to the Control Panel and start the Sound and Audio Devices applet.
5. In the Device Volume section, click on "Advanced"
6. Go to the Options menu, then Properties menu item
7. Choose "Realtek HD Audio Input" from the Mixer device list
8. Place a checkmark in the Recording Control, CD Volume, Line Volume,
and Mic Volume items
9. Click Ok
10. In the Recording Control, ensure the Recording volume is high, and
that all controls are UNmuted
11. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Sound Recorder
(or enter %systemroot%\system32\sndrec32.exe in Start>Run box)
12. Open the RealTek Audio I/O Control (double-click on the brown
speaker icon in the task tray next to the clock, or go to the RealTek HD
Sound Effect Manager in the Control Panel)
13. Click on the Audio I/O tab and ensure that the Line-In (blue) and
Speaker Out (green) indicators are lit up. If they are not, you may
have a cable problem.
14. Go to the 3D Audio Demo tab
15. Click on the play button at the lower right
16. In the Sound Recorder tool started in step 11, click on the record
button (red dot)
17. If you see a stream of waveforms, your line-in jack are working
correctly and receiving signal from output. If not, there may be a
driver issue or the jack is malfunctioning."

The line in is working just fine.

So I'm thinking you are right about the conflicting drivers. Unfortunately I don't happen to have a spare sound card just lying around and can't afford to go out and buy one.

I just searched the KB again for UAA driver and found an article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111/, but this is waaayy over my head. Do you have any idea how I can uninstall the UAA driver, of if I even should? I don't have an update with that number listed in the add/remove programs.

I don't understand the end of your posting. Have you concluded
that Line-In is working, and yet you cannot record ? Could you
please restate what is working and what is not working ?
