USB device records in stable version but not beta

I have encountered the following problem with trying to record a microphone connected via a Griffin imic2 USB audio adaptor.

I am operating a HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit). The machine has a Realtek High Definition Audio soundcard.

The problem occurs in Audacity 1.3.4.

Once plugged in the imic2 USB adaptor shows as a device in Audacity and I have selected this as the input. The device has also been enabled in the control panel and I have checked that the the soundcard drivers are the up to date.However no sound comes through.

Keeping the same settings and using Audacity 1.2.6. I do get a signal and I can record it. The fact that it works in 1.2.6. indicates that this isn't a soundcard or Vista problem but something in 1.3.4.

I have a number of projects in 1.3 and I'm finding the new features good so don't want to go back. Am I missing something?

I have no idea what the underlying problem is, sorry, but a good workaround would be to record in 1.2.6 and then edit in 1.3.
