I recently upgraded to Windows vista. After doing so, my line in for my
sound is no longer working! my volume mixer doesnt show anything as if its
muted, its not even there.

When I right click, and select playback, it only shows speakers /
headphones, checked as if working properly, no line in is visible.

When select the recording tab, it shows my microphone as working, and
checked. underneith it shows my line in, but says "currently unavailable",
and it is not checked. (and wont let me configure). When I look further
into it, and right click, selecting properties, It says (under controller
properties) that it is working properly! It also shows that the jack
information as rear panel 3.5 mm jack (its not, its a traditional jack like a
headset or microphone utilizes. under device usage: it shows use this device
(enable).

Im sure there is some way for me to "enable" my line in jack so the sound
from my other devices comes through, but i do not know where to go.

I have a sigmatel driver. I sat through Dell customer support and
downloaded the new Driver that works for sigmatel, uninstalled the driver,
reinstalled. Also retrieved a driver directly from sigmatel for the issue,
and still nothing. This is why I presume there is just a simple setting
somewhere.

Any idea what im missing?

Did you right click in the Playback and Recording windows and check both "Show
Disconnected Devices" and "Show Disabled Devices"?

Yes i did. The strangest thing is that i can "see" sound, but i can't hear
it. ( I can see it in the window "recording"
The sound meter moves when i've connected something, but i can't hear a thing.
It's very strange...

Do you mean when you speak into the microphone, you do not hear it coming from
the speakers? That's the way it is supposed to be. Try recording something
with Sound Recorder (Start All Programs Accessories) and then playing it
back.

Yes that's what I mean, but it's the line in that I can't hear. I can record
sound and Windows registrates it, but I want to hear it "live", but that
doesn't work.
I think that you can activate it, but I don't know where...

In Control Panel (Classic view) Sound Playback, highlight Speakers and see
if there is a slider on the Levels tab for the Line In.

I don't really understand what you mean... My mothertongue is dutch, you see.
But when nothing is attached to the line in, the line in is deactivated and
from the moment I put sth in the line-in, Windows notices it, but I can't
hear a thing like always... Maybe I have to contact a dutch-speeking person
or contact the manufacturer of my notebook for more information...

What type of audio do you have your Sigmatel set you - if anything other
than 2 channel / stereo audio, then you're telling Sigmatel to use you
line in jack as a redirected output jack for rear speakers./...
