Loud Hum - Microphone Input

OK, you WinAmp guys are pretty damn smart, so let's see if you can help me...

I'm trying to stream a radio stream (like a HAM Radio) into my computer. I have a standard line-in type plug tied in from the speaker of my radio into the mic port on my soundcard. The problem I am having is that there is a REALLY LOUD HUMMM: http://splitrock.techmgmt.net:8181/listen.pls I'm using the "Soundcard" as the input method and I've adjusted all kinds of things. I adjust the BG Music Level and if I drop it all the way down, I get no humm... It's driving me nuts..

HELP!!!!!

Why not plug the line-in cable into the line-in port :?

Tried that, couldn't get it to work. Let me try again. Maybe it was lack of coffee....

Remember to select line in in the Windows mixer

Feedback occurs when the microphone can "hear" itself -- make sure you use headphones when your use the MIC or mute the speakers, and/or ensure that the MIC is muted in the output mixer.

Also realize that both WinMixers [record|output] may need to be "tweaked" to get the effect you desire.

The mixers [your mastery of them] are the key and the answer to your problem.
