Well - problem solved (at least partially-Roxio is still a problem) and
I'm
sitting here with egg running off my chin.

This morning I went into the Realtek HD Audio Manager again and to my
chagrin, I realized I had not seen the < > at the right side of the
playback
section. (They really aren't very obvious - honestly.) I clicked on >
and
sure enough, there were more pages of controls. Right there before my
very
eyes was the line in volume indicator at the bottom of the graphic
(meaning
no volume of course). Boy, talk about humiliated!!

:-)

I was also then able to record from the tape deck using Roxio, (even
though
it doesn't recognize the line in as the source) although I need to play
with
the volume controls some more as the recording was extremely loud, but
that's easily done. The fact that there are two mixer controls got me.
From now on I will do these kinds of thing in the morning when I'm fresh.
Getting too old to remember all this stuff. I'm going to follow your idea
Bill of going back to my previous version of Roxio. Newer and bigger is
not
always better.

I agree. :-) (boy, do I agree, but at least I came over to XP from
98SE)

At any rate, I thank you both profusely for all your help. I hope you'll
forgive an old senior for her poor eyesight and memory.

For sure. You're a senior too, eh? AARP land. :-)

Good to hear this, Lorraine. Thanks for the update.

Anyway, thanks Paul & Bill. I'm going to put this away for now. I've
spent
far too much time here and not accomplished anything else.

My sewing machine and dirty house and neglected husband (actually - he
should be listed first <g>) are calling loudly for attention.
When I get life out of the way again for a while, I'll call ASUS or try
the
actions outlined in Paul's link.

Thanks again for all your help guys.

Based on your re-statement, I'd say you have two issues you want help
with.

1) Being able to record sound from Line-In.
Your test (seeing waves in Sound Recorder), indicates that is working.

2) The ability to loop an input to an output jack, is a "playthru" kind
of
feature. I took a look in the Mixer control panel for my sound card,
and there are two "Line-In" mute buttons. If I select the "record"
section
of the interface, clicking the "Line-In" makes it the current source
to be recorded (so you can use Windows Sound Recorder). If you go to
the "play" section of the interface, there is a "Line-In" button
there.
That allows "playthru" of the signal coming in on "Line-In".

There are two kinds of mixer controls. There is a Windows mixer control
panel, and there can be a ReakTek one. The sense and function of the
controls could be different between those. In my tests here, with my
CMedia
PCI sound card, the functionality was in my CMedia mixer control panel.
And it works fine - I can control what I record, or what is used for
playthru, independently.

*******
The link I posted, is for the purpose of repairing the relationship
between
UAA and the RealTek driver. It is for people who have completely lost
their
ability to use the RealTek onboard sound. In your case, it seems you have
functionality present, so fiddling with the drivers likely won't change
that.

HTH,
