Weird, how about trying a full uninstall and reinstall of winamp? Maybe ther'es something wrong with the plugin itself?

Arlene, and everyone else, just to clarify.
remember this is a problem where he can't even be heard, it's not an issue where his mic is quiet. it's completely muted, as in, he can't be heard at all. To me this defies logic since in every other situation a mic can be used, it works just fine and his mic can be heard perfectly.
Does anyone else have any thoughts here? I've posted this to the pc- audio list as well and have received no responses whatsoever. I tried very hard to explain the problem but either nobody knows a sollution or they choose not to answer for whatever reason. I just hope I can help this guy, because for a while he was able to broadcast perfectly, and then just like that, he couldn't and it's driving us crazy. 

Thanks.

I wonder if someone sighted should go looking in his microphone settings? Because there's a thing in that setting. You have to do something like Microphone boost! A sighted person has to watch closely. Then you might have to play around with the mike in that area of winamp! Just a thought! I hope I explained it right! This is almost hard for Jaws to see it! You can do it. but it's tricky. My room mate has this problem. It's better to have a sighted friend help you with that. It does get frustrating if you do this yourselves. Chris, Just ask your friend or whoever you are helping with this situation explain to his sighted friend and maybe he can fiddle with that recording situation!

Subject: Mic goes mute when using the line recording plugin for Winamp 




Hey folks

This question isn't for me, I'm helping a guy get his Winamp set up
for broadcasting, and he has a really weird thing going on.  He's
able to use his mic in all kinds of situations like sending voice
clips over Windows Live Messenger, he can record using recording
programs, basically the mic he has works just fine.  However when he
uses Winamp, and the line recording plugin to broadcast, his mic goes 
mute and he can't be heard at all.
He's using  a realtech card, it says high definition audio, so  I'm
willing to bet that's onboard sound.   Is it possible that his mic
could be muted, but only when the line recording plugin is being used? 
 I'm familiar with the windows XP and 9x series of the volume
controls, like you can have things muted in playback but not in
recording.  Is there a setting he needs to look at or change so he
can get this to work. Like I say, his mic works beautifully in all
kinds of other situations accept with the line recording
plugin.  When he uses it, the Winamp title bar says line recording
just as it should but no audio. It's frustrating as you can
imagine.  Any ideas would be really helpful!

Thanks folks.

Chris
