Stu, I've had very similar problems and have ended up buying a new soundcard to try and sort things out (got an Extigy which seems to help). The guitar won't plug to the mic socket - it needs to be to the line in, and even then I still need to run it through an amp first and use the line out on that. It does work after a fashion but I suspect there is a much simpler way of doing it, especially as the recorded volume seems to be far below that of any of the other tracks.¨
One problem I did have was that I was using stereo leads for a single channel and the input didn't seem to like that. Try selecting just the left or right channel and see if you get anything for them independantly, if nothing at all comes through check whether you have a mono or stereo lead.
Also make sure you have the icon armed so that you can hear the input without recording (can't remember the icon name off the top of my head).
One day I will get all this working !!
Cheers
Mike
