If your computer came with Realtek audio the soution is found by seaching youtube for Easycap Realtek magmarhino. You need a microphone wire into your sound board.
Worked great for me. I guess every computer sound system reacts differently to Easycap
Verdict is in, the pump housing rusted away and blew. $2000 repair estimate. Never heard of a transmission rusting out! What crap.
