Have to re-plug in audio in-line at every bootup. Annoying

[scott_see]

I have a ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard, and I have a Sirius radio plugged into the line in jack. I'm running Windows 8.1.

Everytime I turn on my computer, I hear music; then when Windows is close to starting, the music turns off and I have to unplug/plug-in the line-in cable to get it working again. When it's silent, I still see green bars doing their graphic equalizer thing in the Sound window Recording tab when I go to Manage Audio Devices. So the music is coming in, just not going out.

I've poked around endlessly. Any ideas how I can get Windows to just leave the music on?

Thanks,

Scott

Does the radio have software on the computer? If so, see if preventing the program from starting up when you turn on the computer helps:
