Hi again,
Thanks for the instructions! Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that my
system is running Windows XP Media Center edition, and has Sigmatel audio
as
the sound device. My volume control dialog doesn't have any reference to
the line-in jack. I'll dig further into my Dell system's documentation to
see if I can come up with anything.
Pete

Are you using Line-in in the Windows Volume control as the source for
the recording? If so, open the Windows volume control, remain in the
play settings part of the dialog, which is where you are placed when
the volume control opens, tab until you get to line-in, find the mute
checkbox which follows the balance and volume settings, and uncheck it
with the space bar.
....If you are using Vista, my instructions may not apply because the
volume control has changed.
On Windows Vista, go to "Sound" in the Windows Control Panel
then:
* Playback tab
* select Speakers or Headphones
* Properties button
* Levels tab
* line input then unmute.
A sighted user could use "software playthrough" in Audacity Preferences.
CTRL + P > Audio I/O tab > five tabs to reach it then spacebar to check
the
box and OK. Then turn on monitoring in the recording VU meter in Meter
Toolbar. But this toolbar is not accessible to JAWS.
In development builds "software playthrough" is also in a new "Transport"
menu. Does Leland have any views if monitoring could be turned on or off
in
the Transport menu, or would if have to wait until monitoring is
stable enough to be always on by default?
