Listening to an audio device through your computer

I have a SIRIUS Stiletto 2 (long story short: combo portable satellite radio/recorder and MP3 player). I want to listen to it via my laptop.

Connected the headphone out to the laptop's mic-in. I know the signal is coming through, 'cause I can record it in Sound Recorder, but I can't figure out how to listen to it live. wall

All I know is that when I connect an outside source to my computer I always go through Auxilary mode.

I connect my cassette, and turntable through my auxilary on my receiver to the computer.

I'm sorry, obviously you can't do that with your new MP3 satelite thingy.

Oh, I see what you're sayin'. nod I can probably do it via the Stiletto's "car" dock. woot!

What I mean is Once you've connected the device to your computer, what program are you listening through?

...Oh - and it ain't new; had it for a while and I LOVE it! love

I want one!
here in the farm there are only crickets, birds and... silence! 7 days of retreat it's too much; but I want to tolerate; training for hermit; but it would be good to have Sírius; spend the night looking at the constellations, but only see Orion...

From a DELL forum:

Go to the Start menu and click on Run. Type 'regedit' without quotes and click OK to open the Registry.
2. At the top of the list, highlight My Computer.
3. Under the Edit menu, select Find.
4. Type in 'EnableInputMonitor' without quotes and click 'find next'.
5. Highlight EnableInputMonitor. Right click on it and select Modify.
6. Highlight 00 and change to 01. Click OK.
7. Repeat "find next" (F3) several more times and keep changing values to 01 until the "EnableInputMonitor"'s coming up are of the proper value.
8. Find a key named "EnableIntSpkrMute" and change its value from 01 to 00.
9. Exit the Registry and restart the computer.

Next, configure the system mixer:

1. Open Volume Control by right clicking on the speaker icon on the taskbar, or go to Start/Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices Properties/Advanced (button).
2. Under the Options menu, select Properties.
3.Under 'show the following volume controls' check the box next to Microphone. Click OK.
4. Make sure the mute box is unchecked.



For those familiar with the Registry here is the direct path to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\
{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0005\Settings\filter\Rear

I also had to unmute the Input Monitor in the Volume Control window.
