A problem has developed recently with Goldwave.  I'm not recording any 
sound.

When my XP was 'repaired' in 2007, a new sound card, *SoundMAX 
Integrated Digital HD Audio*, was added.
For a while it seemed that everything was working.  I was able to record 
from both an external or internal source.

Then I upgraded Goldwave to 5.16 from 5.12.  Problems started after that.
I re-installed 5.12, but the problems now remain.

Regardless of whether I configure GoldWave to Primary Audio or to 
SoundMax, the Troubleshooter reports:

        Input Levels:
        *Recording inputs for this device cannot be opened.*

        SoundMAX HD Audio I
        Output Levels:
        *Playback outputs for this device cannot be opened.*

        Input Levels:
        No master input control.
        Stereo Mix: 100 (unselected)
        Line In: 100 (*selected*)
        CD Player: 100 (unselected)
        Microphone: 100 (unselected)

I alternate the settings between PCM 16 bit and higher settings.
I alternate between left, or right, or average channels.
(I'm just trying combinations; I don't always know what the difference is.)

I suspect that there's something wrong with the sound card itself, not 
that it's broken, but there's some setting that I'm not understanding on 
the card, and it's preventing GoldWave from hearing the sound, so it 
can't record it.
Does anyone know of problems between this sound card and Goldwave's 
versions 5.12 or 5.16?
