Default MIDI latency low = good. Audio input gone = bad.

I, too, use ASIO4ALL to combat MIDI latency now that I have Windows 7/Reaper 4. It's the only one of my options that yields no noticeable lag. Strangely, though, when I select it in Audio Device settings in Preferences, it can't enable any audio input. My only options are "Not Connected." I assume this is because I need actual third-party hardware? There's no way to have ASIO4ALL just use the PC's audio inputs? Sorry for the nube question, but I'm more of a Mac/ProTools guy. My audio recording needs for the work I do on this PC are minimal, but I do need to record audio occasionally.
Also, ASIO4ALL being selected means any other app on my PC cannot use audio, so I have to change out of that driver if I'm not recording MIDI. Quite inconvenient, would love if anyone had a better suggestion.
