Shuttle with Radeon - no line-in

I have been wrestling with my Shuttle N45G and a Radeon card.
I have at last managed to get TV working by pretending I am on
Norfolk Island (very exotic) instead of in the Netherlands...
But now I find I have no sound. I suspected at first a
PAL/video problem, but now find that even an external sound
source connected to the line-in gives no sound. Am I missing
something glaringly simple, or is there something wrong with
the Nvidia mianboard? :-(

The SAN45G has a line ni on ethe back *blue) but it doesn't
work. Doesn't Shuttle have a sggestion.fix?

That's all very well, but I assume that the computer shoult work
as advertised and shouldn't need a hack... :-(

Huh? Could you please tell where (a link would be fine), where Shuttle
advertise a line-in on the back of the SN45G2?

When I view the detailed specification, I only see an "out" port:

Back panel:
1 x PCI slot
1 x AGP slot
1 x PS/2 Keyboard
1 x PS/2 Mouse
2 x USB2.0 ports
1 x Serial Port
1 x RJ45 port
2 x IEEE1394a Ports
1x Rear out, 1x Front out, 1x Center/Bass Audio connector
1 SPDIF In / Out

There's a blue socket on the back with the "line-in" ikon beside
it... if that isn't a line-in, what is? (The set up even offers
to change it to rear speakers... so it must be a line-in...?)

Martin, as far as I can tell, the socket on the back is purely an
OUT-put port. And nowhere have I seen it advertised by Shuttle as
doubling as a IN-put port.

On the other hand, the FRONT-socket is advertised as a dual-purpose
IN/OUT-port.

# Backpanel-Anschlüsse:
1 x PS/2-Maus
1 x PS/2-Tastatur
1 x Seriell
2 x USB 2.0 (4 weitere onboard)
2 x Firewire (IEEE1394, ein weiterer Anschluß onboard)
1 x Netzwerk RJ45
Audio: 3 Anschlüsse für 6-Kanal Ausgabe (Bass/Center, Front, Rear)

Optische SPDIF Ein- und Ausgänge werden bei SN45G an der
Gehäuse-Rückseite herausgeführt
# Onboard-Anschlüsse:
1 x Diskette (bis zu 2,88 MB)
4 x USB 2.0 (zwei weitere am Backpanel)
1 x SPDIF Eingang)
1 x SPDIF Ausgang
1 x Infrarot
1 x Firewire (IEEE1394, zwei weiterere am Backpanel)
3 x Audio Frontpanel-Anschlüsse (Mikrofon und Line-in/out)
...............................................^^^ ^^^^^^^^
1 x CDROM Audio-Eingang
3 x Lüfter (CPU, AGP, Gehäuse)

So you either have to run your line-in around to the front of the
SN45G2, or you have to rewire the internals.

I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but as far as I
can tell it is the truth.
