audio mixer problem

big_moe

i recently upgraded from win 98se to win xp. i do alot of line in recording on my pc and on win 98 i had two icons for audio in my system tray. one was the speaker symbol (which is still there on win xp) and the other was an icon of a mixer (which is not there now). the difference between the speaker icon and the mixer icon is that in the mixer i can slect what channel to record from (line in, mic etc.). now on win xp i have no way (as far as i can see) to change the record input. it is set as default on mic and not line in. does anybody how to a) change the record input or b) re download that mixer program. i think it was called system mixer but a google search showed up nothing.

cheers

It will still be on your machine. Look in your C:\ drive. You might be able to put a short cut to your desktop from there.

Try right clicking on Speaker Icon in System Tray. (Adjust Audio properties).
This should give you the options you are looking for.
Works here for my ESS Sound Card.
If this does not work then perhaps you need to update driver for your Sound Card ?

sounds like you need to download drivers for your soundcard tbh.
the drivers that come with windows xp wouldn't include the mixer software that you're on about.

double click on the speaker icon and tell us what it says at the bottom left of the mixer.
