Hi, The most likely reason you are loosing audio when you plug the device in is that it's taking over as default audio on the PC. Try plugging your speakers in to the output of the device after plugging it in to your USB port..
Also I haven't had a lot of luck on some systems in the past using AC97 onboard sound. The line in jacks levels always tended to be overly high for recording regardless of setting unless you turned the line input nearly to zero and then it dropped to almost nothing and still wasn't usable. But that was on two computers I had a couple of years ago.

Total Recorder is more set up for that sort of audio. Then you could pull it in to Goldwave and edit it if you like?
