[WriteLog] Soundcard problem

[Don Winn]

Thanks Scott and All

With the help of of several I got pointed in the correct direction and then 
Scot hit it on the head.

My problem was NOT a WL problem but a setup problem with the sound card 
within WL (See Scot's comments below).  When I looked at the panel, I found 
that Line In was selected. Changing it to Mic fixed the problem.

I hope this will help others that may run into the problem.

Thanks to all that responded.
