Very often when i wil record something by the line-in channel it 'says' that the cable is not connected. Of course he still is but it's not detected...after a lot of clicks and bad words 😁 ..it works becouse i'm getting back to older drivers. But now i'm missing the 'Stereo-Mix'...
My PC is 3 days here in my studio and i need it for music/remixes etc. so the soundcard is very important. Of course i'm using an external DAC but i can't record with that unit on my PC.
Sorry for my bad English but i'm doing my best

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I reviewed your post and I understand you are facing issues recording using the line in port on the computer.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.
1. Run Audio Troubleshooter
- Launch Troubleshooting by typing and clicking “Troubleshooting” in
Windows search.
- Click on "Playing Audio".
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Check if microphone isn't disabled.
- Right click on the Volume Icon on the taskbar, select "Recording Devices".
- Click on "Show disconnected devices", and "Show disabled devices".
- Select on Microphone, click on "Properties". If it is disabled, enable it.
- Once enabled, set Microphone as default audio input device.
3. Check if microphone isn't muted.
- Right Click on the Volume icon on the taskbar, select "Volume Mixer".
- On the Microphone slider, slide it up to 100%.
4. Boost sensitivity of Microphone
- Right Click on the Volume icon on the taskbar, select "Recording".
- Double click on Microphone.
- Open the Levels Tab, move the Microphone boost slider up to check audio.
5. Disable enhancements
- Right Click on the Volume icon on the taskbar, select "Recording“, Double
click on Microphone.
- Open the Enhancements / Effects Tab.
- Check "Disable All Sound / System Effects“. Click Apply, OK, test the Microphone again.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
