I know this has been addressed before because I googled it and saw the very same problem mentioned as quoted here:

"Problem is, I cannot hear the audio through the speakers while it is recording and can only see the visual of the audio waveform."
When I do a search for that problem in the search box right here on the forum, I am always told there are no results.
My Line In is operational. I have recorded from a cassette player to my computer using Line In via the AVS Audio Recorder, but just as stated in the google search I quoted above I can see the waveform but cannot hear what I am recording while I am recording which makes it impossible to start and stop when necessary.
When I play back what was soundlessly being recorded, the sound is great so I know it is recording properly.
Please help me figure out how to hear through the speakers what is being recorded as it is recording. I want to use the computer I'm working on now which is an HP PavilionSlimline s5-1224 desktop running Windows 7.
I have used AVS Audio Recorder on an old ACER desktop I have which is running XP and can hear the audio as I am recording, so I know it's not AVS Audio Recorder. I know there has to be a way to do the same on this new HP Pavilion. I don't want to have to use my old ACER every time I want to record with Line In.
I am currently using a 5.1 surround sound configuration for my speakers, but also tried stereo and quadraphonic. All speaker configurations yield the same results, no sound while recording.
I also tried Stereo Mix which showed no waveform even though I had designated it as the device to use under Sounds/Recording.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
