Eric,

You mention that you checked the volume control in 'sounds and multimedia'.
Have you also checked the volume control in Programs > Accessories >
Entertainment > Volume Control?  You have a separate control over muting and
volume on the Line In there.  There is also a Mute All check box to
validate.  Do you perhaps have some other 3rd party mixer installed where
the Line In may be muted or turned down?

Good luck,

>I seem to have set a switch that makes the system ignore input which I
think is coming from the LINE->IN port on my soundcard ( Creative
Soundblaster PCI-512). As the system was working correctly two >days ago, I
would appreciate advice about what I might have done.  The 'volume control'
settings in the >Control Panel's 'sounds and multimedia' look ok --- I am
using Windows 2000.
