Well James, I tried that approach, but no go. I am willing to assume
the role of a total beginner here and have you direct me. For one
thing, what should be my driver configuration. At present, I'm using
the "User-mode virtual device driver (Playback/Record through
TotalRecorder)" selection. Do I need to default to using TR as my
default playback device? I think I have successfully done this, but I
still can't get any sound recorded or played back with the soundboard
muted. I really couldn't swear as to just what my settings were
before I started having this problem once again. I do know that I
didn't have to mute my soundcard to have it go silent when recording
linein before now. Man, this is sure frustrating.

You don't have to accomplish this through Total Recorder. Just open
Windows Volume Control, and assuming you're running Windows XP,
check the box to mute the Line In. By default Volume Control shows
playback controls, so muting the Line In will only stop it being
played back. In other words, it won't affect your recording at all,
and you can get on with using your computer as you normally would.

Well, I guess I should really say that puzzle is mine. Hopefully
somebody can help me restore harmony between me and TR.
Just a little bit of background. I had a nearly fatal accident with
my computer at the end of March of the previous year. No need to
go in to all that, except to say that it became necessary to
rebuild my computer from the ground up, software wise. Yesterday,
after all that time, I needed to schedule and record a radio
program from my stereo receiver, using the linein to my soundcard.
That part went fine, but the problem is what follows.
The problem is simply this. I can no longer get TR to mute the
sound coming into the linein when recording. This used to allow me
to record from my receiver, allowing me to do any other work
without interference from what I am recording from the external
source. I have scoured every dialog box for any remedy, and just
can't find one. I remember there being a monitoring option that one
could check or uncheck in a previous version, and when unchecking
that box, that, at least as far as I can remember, allowed me to
record linein in the background, but now I can't seem to find
anything remotely relating to monitoring, unless it is preview
monitoring, and that doesn't seem to help.
Please, please, don't get this issue confused with hearing speech
through my soundcard going to my linein recording. I have that
covered, no problemo.
If I can further clarify the issue, please let me know. I guess I
can always find something to do other than use my computer during
these times, but would like to once again have the option of
computing in silence.
Thanks much,
Larry
