Hello Perere.
I too was frustrated and mad, But I figured out a solution. Hope
this will work for you.

I followed some of there steps above. but it too, did not work for me.
I will give you all the steps I took to fix it so I can record like
before in xp with stereo settings. Without using line in


Click Control panel....click sounds....make classic view
Click recording tab.....Right click on white part, Check mark show
disabled devices

This is what you should see:
Micraphone /line in
Micraphone Array
Playback Capture

Now = Click Micraphone Array make it your default
Click Playback Capture....make this your default now
Click Micraphone Array.....click to disable

This is what you should see now:
Micrahone /lin in ........ currently unavailable
Micraphone Array....... disabled
Playback Capture....... working

Now all you have to do is set the settings of your recording software
to this.
It worked for me. Hope it workes for you...Please let me know if it
helped. I feel your pain
