ProScan: Proscan not recording with line-in (Windows 10)

Did you check your audio settings in Windows
Yes, and ran pre-boot diagnostics. Recording from computer microphone works fine. Line-in selection works fine. Otherwise I couldn’t hear scanner audio through computer speakers. Thanks
The OS is reporting an error when trying to open the Line In input. I would double check and triple check the Win Mixer. Does the Line In show as enabled?
Thanks for the screenshots. Looks okay. The only other ideal is perhaps a computer reboot.
{edit} Perhaps another software has an exclusive lock on the Line In Input but not sure.
Rebooted several times. May try ArcPatrol (Butel) to see if problem is some obscure ProScan setting. Or uninstall-reinstall ProScan. I’ll try both
In ProScan, you could try to set the Input Sound Device to None then back to Primary or Line In. Advise on your findings.
I think the problem is with Windows 10, not ProScan.
Switching Input Sound Device back and forth to None did not help.
Neither Arc536Pro nor Audacity would record line input audio.
In both cases, scanner audio plays through built-in computer speakers.
Windows 10 native microphone record works fine, as does Zoom audio test via built-in microphone.
Other ideas?

What happens when you plug up a set of headphones to the 426?
The only other ideals I have are:
1) Change the Line In to Disable then back to Enable.
2) This may be a long shot but check the Privacy Settings - Microphone and then change some of the settings and see what happens.
Also uncheck this option and see what happens
Please remember when software is designed, everything "US" users can NOT be thought of during it's concept. Personally, I'm happy for what ProScan is and, that Bob continues to offer input to remedy situations and make improvements to his product. Thanks Bob for all your hours involved making this the most awesome product it is. I'm only 3 years into "digital" scanning (lifelong analog owner) but love the hell out of ProScan!
Works fine. Thanks
Have you tried to use a groundloop isolator?
The radio is battery powered, so I don't think a loop involving the AC mains is involved. But it's an interesting suggestion. I can test it later with my battery-powered laptop.
It is to isolate the type AUDIO AMP used in the 436 from the PC it is not a common ground and seeing the ground in the PC AUDIO circuit could cause you problems. I use isolators on all my Uniden Handhelds to PROSCAN.
Interesting: How to obtain or build such an isolator?
You can buy them on Amazon.com

Ordered. Thanks so much!!!
