Thank you -- noted:  but discrepancies persist:
1.   Control Panel has no "Hardware & Sound" item,
only Realtek HD Audio Manager
and Sound, which both point to the same device
which includes no Stereo, no Line In etc.:  i.e. Mic is the only input.
(44.1 kHz is min. sampler for both Mic and Speakers output.)
2.  In Device Mgr./Sound Video Game
no codecs show (as I am used to seeing on desktop -- are these
not needed by Win7 SP1 or with Realtek circuitry?
3.  I have both commercial Magix ACLab and freeware Audacity
software, which show no more options than Windows above.  If a
Stereo or Line Input source existed, they would see it -- and do not.
