Sound recorder problem

I installed a new sound card because my onboard sound chip was poor. The new
card is Audio Extreme 5.1 (two-speaker setup at present) and works fine with
CDs, MP3s, streaming audio etc.

However I can not get Sound Recorder to detect any sound at all. I have
Audacity but that doesn't detect any sound either. I have checked that
nothing is set on 'mute' and that mixer defaults are OK but still nothing.

Could it be that Sound Recorder / Audacity are still 'looking' at the old
sound chip? If so how can I persuade them to see my new card? The old chip
does not appear in the list on Device manager.

What about speaker setup? In Sound and Audio Devices> Speakers, have you
selected the 2 speaker profile?
