    Hello all. I have a dell xps m1530 running vista with the basic high definition audio device and there seems to be a problem with the line in port. I need it to play whatever is going into the line in port through the speakers. Right now it just treats the line in like a microphone and I can only record stuff and then play it back later. Is there any way to fix this? Also the touchpad sometimes goes a little crazy and it looks like it gets stuck... and the touchpad is right above the input jacks for the speakers/line in. Could these 2 problems be related?
