I seem to have fixed our glitch.  I believe the problem started when we 
installed a quickcam, which installs an additional audio device for the 
quickcam's built-in mic.

I fixed it by downloading the latest audio driver for this laptop's 
on-board audio device, removing the on-board audio device in Device 
Manager, rebooting and re-installing it.

Then I made sure the on-board sound device was the default for recording 
from the Sound Control Panel.

Toggling talk in rat now allows listen without talk on.

Cheers.
