Hello everyone.
I need some help. I have SB X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion installed on my computer ( Win 7). I installed and updated all drivers and used it in Game mode first. Everything - sound, rare mic, front headphones , even remote controle worked just perfectly. After that I needed to use the front line-in so I pluged my cable in, changed the mode to Audio Creation and changed the recording device from microphone ( the rare one) to line-in ( front panel). It also worked just fine but since then I can't reverse it back. My rare mic won't work. I reinstalled the drivers, checked my mic - everything is just fine and working(checked on another computer) but the mic won't work. It can't recognize that the mic is plugged in.
After long search in the net I found the interesting information that once you anable the front panel the back mic will get disabled automatically. Now I can't get it back to work. So my question is how can I disable the front line-in or panel ( without disconnecting it physically) and getting my rare mic to work.
 
Problem solved! I will post it here for somebody else that might have the same problem.
Actually when I used to open the recording mixer it would show me the front panel line-in as "ready" and the rare mic as "currently unavailable" . After I posted my question I actually started to look around and found out that right click on the front panel line-in icon will open a menu that has "disable" button. And woala ! After I disabled the front line-in the back mic started to work. The rest are just proper settings.
That's all!
