Hello, can it really be this hard? I'm used to the Windows XP way of doing things, where the volume control has check boxes to select whether the line in or the microphone port is used. If I now work in Windows 7, I have to click on speakers in the system tray and go down a list of several nondescript options that say microphone. Line in is at the bottom, and when I select it and hit properties, sometimes I get the listen tab, along with the levels tab, but sometimes not. When I don't get this set of tabs, I hear no noise from my recording source, and only have the general tab. I think I'll have to reboot to get these settings to show up. Also, when things are working, how can I switch to using the microphone rather than the line in port, such as when I want to do voice chats? I used to just keep the volume control open and could switch back and forth in a few seconds. Am I just not going about it the right way, or has Microsoft really made it complicated and arduous? I have made a dual-boot system, with both XP and Windows 7, but I prefer to keep going in Windows 7, since it's working pretty well for the most part.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
