Unable To Monitor Album Recording

[Sedentaryspud]

I am using EMC 10 using an HP Pavillion desktop under Vista Home Premium and a Realtek soundcard. I finally was able to start converting an LP after I updated my audio driver to recognize line in. I amusing a Yamaha YP801BL turntable and a (TCC) TC-750LC phono preamp into the line in of the soundcard. I can record the album but cannot monitor the sound during the recording. When the recording is finished, I can play and hear the results o.k. I want to monitor the recording part though, in case the record starts skipping or some other anomoly happens. What can I do to be able to monitor the sound while recording. Thanks for any useful info.

I think that you need to get a dedicated sound card.

I am not computer literate, so could you tell me what dedicated soundcard means. Do I have to buy and install another sound card just to get EMC 10 to do something that I should be able to do as a matter of course?

I'm not sure about the Realtek card but make sure that in Windows the Line In isn't muted in the Control Panel on the Playback tab.
