Alexander, Hope that you don't mind me coming in here but I have an idea. In Goldwave if you press f11 and then Control Tab twice you are on a volume control tab. Now I had always believed that this was just an alternative interface to the Windows Volume Control applet. If I select Microphone in the latter it becomes checked in the Gold wave volume control - I just checked it! But I remembber a Tutorial on BCT recently in which it was suggested that the two can get out of "alignment" with each other. No idea why this should happen, but perhaps you might wish to check in GoldWave to make sure Microphone is selected. A long shot, but frankly I am stumped otherwise. I changed the Windows Volume control on this system from Line In to Microphone this morning and have been happily recording a magazine article in Goldwave.
