However, I am still not able to record any Internet radio broadcasts. The computer is a GM5066E. Support information for this computer is at http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1008881/1008881nv.shtml . However, I could not find anything there that would solve my problem. The control panel says that I have a Sigma Tel Audio default device. It is installed and Windows XP says that it is working properly. Under hardware, I see Hauppauge Win TV PVR PCI II (26xxx) sound video and game controller. Again Windows XP claims that it is working properly. I have a feeling that my problem is not actually caused by hardware or software malfunctioning. The software is simply not written to feed the sound coming from Internet to the recording software-- I am using Nero Sound Trax. On this gateway computer, under Nero I get three choices for the source of sound: line in, rear microphone, and microphone. Yet, on an older computer that worked properly I would also see a "wave" among the sources of sound. Any comments and help would be appreciated. Deguza
