Exactly my problem.

I have Vista Home Basic.

I can hear music, when I test on yahoo voice chat, the lights light up, but
when I try to record sounds on Start>All programs>Accessoires>sound
recording, it does not record anything.

I suspect the root cause is the same that prevents me from being heard on
the other side.

Please someone help. I think I have turned on all the correct options in the
control panel. But still...

Thanks in advance
