I just moved to a new place so i dont have anything to test it with right now... but everything was bought within the last 24 hours (computers 1 week old, Alienware).
I also figured that since that there`s green moving all over the place when i look at line-in, something has to be happening.

Also the green shown for speakers is because im listening to music right now...its not from the xbox

High-Definition 7.1 Performance Audio - Standard for now
upgrading when Christmas comes around

(going over to gfs, be back in a couple hours...all help is appreciated, ive been working at this for days lol)

wow heres a whole page of people with the same problem...

http://www.miguelcarrasco.net/miguel...microphon.html

seems to be something to do with dell computers + vista.

When i click on speakers --> levels
its supposed to show "monitorinput" as one of the options...i have to unmute it to be able to hear my line in through my speakers. Maybe something to do with the audio driver in general...

This is the most promising solution ive seen so far

1) Press (WindowsKey)-R (to run a program)
2) Type regedit, press enter, and then click Continue (depending on your security settings)
3) Go to Edit - Find (or Ctrl-F)
4) Type EnableInputMonitor and click Find (or Find Next)
5) Double-click the EnableInputMonitor entry. It will come up as 0000 00. Change the 00 to 01 (so it's 0000 01). Do a Find Next just to make sure it's the only EnableInputMonitor registry setting on your system
6) Exit the Registry Editor and Restart the PC
6a) Wait for Vista's criminally long reloading time
7) Right-click the little Sigmatel Icon and select Playback Devices
8) Click SpeakersHeadphones and then Properties.
9) Under the Levels tab, there is now a new option called Input Monitor, which is muted. Click the speaker to unmute to Input Monitor, and the Line-In port now functions as expected I HAVE A SIGMA AUDIO TEL AND WIN VISTA HOME BASIC.. AND THE "EnableInputMonitor entry" WASN'T THERE SO YOU MUST CREATE IT .. THIS WAY...
1) Open regedit (Start->Run, type regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\filter\SpeakerHp\
3) Create a new Binary Value
4) Give it the name EnableInputMonitor
5) Set it's value to 01
6) Restart your machine
7) Open your Playback Devices (right click on volume control icon in system tray, select Playback Devices)
8) Open the Speakers/Headphones
9) Go to the levels tab
10) Unmute the input monitor

but when i navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\filter\SpeakerHp\


i can only find up to 0000...my computer shows no "settings"


what to do next?
