Kevin,
Thanks, that did it! All I needed to do was uncheck the stereo mix checkbox and everything is back to normal. for others with integrated sound cards wanting to know the exact issue and steps I took:
when Replay Radio was installed, it essentially checked the checkbox for either the stereo mix or the mono mix in the recording properties dialogue. This has the effect of recording the entire speaker output when making recordings using the line in input with other programs, such as the Sound forge editing program.
to fix this, I went to the recording properties dialogue
programs/accessories/entertainment/volume
and when I was in the volume control dialogue, I went to the menu and selected properties. In this property sheet, I cursored down to recording properties. the default is playback. I then tabbed to a list and selected all items to display and then pressed the ok button. In the next property sheet, I found that the stereo mix checkbox was checked. I had selected stereo mix during installation of Replay radio. I suppose if someone chose mono mix, that checkbox would have been checked instead. I made sure that my line in checkbox was checked and unchecked all other boxes.
presto, it worked!!! the downside is likely that one may need to tinker with the property sheet when switching between Replay radio and other programs that record sound, like sound forge. however, the two programs can easily co-exist on the same computer.
lesson of the story: when in the middle of a project, even one that might last for weeks or months, don't install programs that preform a similar function on your computer. these programs may change settings that the user is unaware of and will then need to painstaikenly track down and finely adjust to return to the previous settings that were working well. Lesson lerned.
