We don't yet have the Registry edit to allow monitoring of the mic jack in Vista, but forum members are working on it.
enice177,
You need to use the recording source called "stereo mix" but it is not on the driver that Dell provides for your Sigmatel audio system.
There is an LG driver for the Sigmatel 92xx that has stereo mix. To get it follow this path:
LG Service Site
1. Click on 'Product Support'
2. Click on 'Device Driver'
3. Select 'Notebook' from the dropdown list under 'Product'
4. Select 'Windows XP' under 'Operating System'
5. Type 'Sigmatel' into the subject box.
6. Click 'search.'
The driver to choose is labelled Ver 5.10.04866 XNOTE(LE50)
(This driver is known to work on most of the Inspirons with the 92xx chip but reportedly not on the 640m/E1405 and XPS M1210. This driver was discovered by forum member dhkang002.)
As you probably know the program you are using, Windows Sound Recorder, has a limit of 60 seconds recording time (but there is a way to extend that limit).

"Shouldn't the companies involved be fixing this, not volunteers?"
Why would they? The ability to monitor has been turned off by Dell. The members are trying to find the Registry key to re-enable it.

Later (still speculating) when they stopped putting mics in the computers, they left monitoring disabled because they forgot why they disabled it in the first place.
If you want to take a look at the Registry, a poster thinks the key in Vista is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\filter\SpeakerHp

There might be some confusion as to what this thread is about. The person who started it wanted to internally record the output of his sound card. That is a driver issue involving the input source 'stereo mix'.
You want to monitor your mic jack, a different subject entirely. That is a Registry issue involving the key 'EnableInputMonitor' that has to be added to the Registry in Vista.
It's worth understanding the distinction between these two issues. A different driver can resolve the first issue but is unlikely to affect the second.

Jim, I know this is a really old post but we are having an issue recording from a dell vostro 200 xp machine. I am assuming it is the same issue you found above. Is there a registry fix I can use for an xp machine.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hello Kathy,
Can you clear up for me which laptop model you have? There is a Vostro 200 desktop computer, or do you have a laptop? This forum is for laptop models. There is a Vostro 1200 laptop.
What is the issue exactly?

Jim,
I am so sorry, I did not realize that it was only for Laptops and Notebooks. Yes it is a desktop. I've found a work around by unpluging my mic but I would like to use them both. I will search elsewhere. Thank you.
Kathy

That's okay. This is a difficult forum to figure out. Here is a link to the Desktop Audio discussion board.
