Rear'Microphone' and 'Line in' Sound recording devices are unavailable
Good morning all.
Could anyone please explain to me how to enable my rear 'microphone' and 'line in' devices in win7 64? Currently they are listed as unavailable(see attached image). The rear 'microphone' input socket has a guitar physically plugged into it, and the 'line in' has a stereo synth plugged into it. I need to enable or switch these on somehow.
On a related note, could anyone explain what the 'Stereo Mix' input device is used for?
And finally, can anyone explain why when using a DAW such as Cubase, i can only successfully hear output when i disable the Playback 'Speakers' device (I have to re-enable it if i wish to subsequently play movies or music from the Windows desktop - see attached image.
Thanks for looking.
