Anybody know how to choose recording options in Windows Vista?

It won't let me choose line-in or microphone or wave-out/stereo mix anymore. Anybody know how to get these features Windows XP once let me have?

My motherboard is also 2 years old, from ASUS and the sound chip is either Realtek or Sigmatel... all windows tells me is that it is 'high definition audio'.

    Use a hardware detection program to find out and download current drivers for your sound card

    You're using Windows Vista already???? Microsoft has a history of releasing bad operating systems. Windows XP was horrible until service pack 2 was released. Go back to XP as soon as you can! Wait for at least 1 service pack before upgrading to Vista.

    Welcome to the DRM limitations of Windows Vista.

    You will also notice that any recordings or copies you do are seriously degraded.

    I'll have XP forever until it's unsupported. If Microsoft doesn't remove it's DRM limits, I'll switch to Linux.

    I'm sure that I'm not alone.
