This is more of a note to myself than anything, but this took me about half an hour to figure out. For the most part I haven't had any issues with Vista since I've installed it, but today I wanted to connect my iPhone to the line in on my sound card and listen through my computer speakers.

After stripping a cable so it could plug into the iPhone (a whole different story), I plugged it into the line in port on my sound card and didn't hear a thing.

What you have to do is right click on the speaker icon in the tray, click "Recording Devices"

Then click the "Playback" tab, and then double click "Speakers"

Then adjust the levels for Line-In. This should also work for the microphone.

It seems pretty buried, no idea why it's so much harder than it was in XP. I'm looking forward to buying my first MacBook Pro as soon as I can.
