Well, initially I tried to use the mic input on the front of the PC - which DID work prior to installing my Santa Cruz sound card - but all I got was static when I did playback. So then I tried the jack on the soundcard itself, but I got the same static playback.
I've made sure the volume on the mic is turned up. As I said, prior to installing this audio card my mic initially worked on the computer. But when I go to Sound Recorder Options, under the settings for microphone I only have one option: Santa Cruz. I was hoping I would have the choice of using Santa Cruz or the PC's default but it seems the default is no longer available.
That brings me to another question -- what would be the default sound card on a new computer? Because I didn't remove anything before installing Santa Cruz. There was no audio card I'm aware of already in one of the PCI slots and I don't see any sound card software installed on the PC...but before installing a new sound card was I supposed to uninstall whatever was there originally?
