Speaker Control on a PC

Here's an interesting problem that comes up every now and then. I use the recording program called Soundforge on my computer at work. Occasionally, it doesn't work because the speaker configuration on Windows gets changed. I do not change it manually. It just seems to do it by itself. Well, Mark Y., a good friend, told me how to fix this. So here it is, for anyone that needs it:

Click the Speaker icon at the bottom of your screen.

For the Volume Control, click Properties.

-Select Line-In.

For the Playback, make sure the following options are checked:

-Master Volume
-Wave
-SW Synth
-CD Audio
-Line In
-PC Speaker

For Recording, make sure the following is checked:

-Line In

So there you have it. I hope this was helpful.
