Sound problems with the line in for vista (sigmatel)
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? |

I'm taking a guess here, so forgive me. I'm using RealTek. It sounds close to the same options, but mine as a thing where it must be set as DEFAULT. Even though it is enabled. ???? Hope it helps, Shawn -- brink Vista 64 Home Premium 1.5 Gig DDR2 533 Mhz (PC4200) RAM |

Unfortunatly, I have tried that avenue as well and failed. Where my mic is,
underneith it shows the microphone as "working". Under where it shows the line in, it shows as "currently unavailable". I have seen some new things written that express a binary change in the regedit, but all posts that show this fix, do not have my make or model computer. I have tried on the Dell websites as well. Just very frustrating I am sure you can understand. |

Hi Scott, Sorry to hear that. Did you increase the volume level & unmute the Playback settings. That was how I got my audio to play through the speakers from the INLINE or micIN. Shawn -- brink "Practice makes perfect, then you reinstall" Vista 64 Home Premium 1.5 Gig DDR2 533 Mhz (PC4200) RAM |

I fixed this problem on my Dell E520 by editing the registry to enable
LineInputMonitoring. http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archi.../30/13109.aspx (halfway down many msgs) has the detailed procedure. I still can't get Record What You Hear as in XP. Anybody have a fix for that? |

For the Vista system, the registry key you're looking for is
"EnableInputMonitor". This is changed from 00 to 01, and a reboot is required. However, the post/link listed below is excellent and solves the problem. Don't know why this is disabled by default and it takes a rocket scientist to correct, but then we'll never know!

Forget it Scott... No Easy Fixes as yet that I know. I have done all that
you noted and downloaded a 94MB file from a sound card vendor that was suggested in another forum. Hopefully MS or Sigmatel one will listen to the users who are upset and do something about sound volume and record mixer problems soon. Right now they all seem to be more interested in selling products that are not compatable than assisting users who get roped into buying systems that have an OEM version of Vista already installed.

Try re-installing vista sigmatel driver from dells support site. I had the same problem. When you plug in a cable to the line in jack you should get a popup window that asks how you want to use the jack. (as line in or mic). This only works if the software is installed properly.

Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar, select
Recording Devices, in an empty area of the Recording Devices window, right click and make sure that both "Show Disconnected Devices" and "Show Disabled Devices" are checked. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!
