Re: Analog audio in??

Here's an update for other users having the same problem/concern.
A fresh install of Windows was required to get the the analog audio input working again. Regardless of how many times I installed or uninstalled drivers from Compulab or Realtek, it simply wouldn't work. Unfortunately, it still ONLY shows the input port as a microphone and does NOT show up as a line-input.
Through some testing I've been able to get the port to generally function as a line-input by adjusting the microphone input's settings. First, disable any microphone boost. Next, set the microphone level to around 25 (of a possible 100). This allows for an input with no clipping of up to 1 Volt rms. The measured level won't actually be 1, instead it will read a bit lower, but that's a small price to pay for no-clipping.
Not an ideal solution, and certainly not as advertised, but I suppose it works well enough.
