Subject:Recording from LINE IN with Sound Forge

Okay, I'm stumped - what am I doing wrong?

Using Sound Forge 6.0a, I'm perfectly able to record from the built-in microphone on my Hewlett Packard Pavillion laptop, but for some reason I'm unable to record from my line-in. I've done everything I can - adjusted the Recording Control for in Windows, made sure nothing was muted, nothing was unselected - but nothing's happening! Is there anything obvious I'm missing? Is there some setting in Sound Forge I've over looked?

Sorry to bug everyone with such a simple question, but it's killing me! Ack! What can I DO?

Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you're adjusting the recording inputs? When you bring up the volume control mixer panel you're looking at the output controls. Have you clicked Options / Properties / Recording to switch to the input controls?

Maybe you need to route your mic through a pre-amp first?
