Tom, You haven't told us what you tried in order to achieve this, take a look in control panel, sounds and audio devices, audio tab and see what you can find there, you should see recording device properties, if you press the volume button what do you find there?

Have win xp, realtek high def audio manager. Can't record from sound card. Advent 4211 and del desktop seem to have same prob, or possibly I've got the same prob with both. Can, for instance, record from screamer radio on a non-realtek machine, but, not this lot. Have gone into device manager and seems device working normally, good one if true. Tom If I uninstall device drivers,
