Audacity Forum

"I strongly suspect that you are trying to record through a microphone input and not a line level input." You are right! I finally took the computer apart and checked all the wiring inside. Ever since I got it, the connection to microphone and line in were reversed on the board :-( The lev...

"If you can get good quality WAV files out out of your TV capture software - then why not record in that"

it only outputs multiplexed video and when I demux I don't get anything I can figure out how to convert to CD format.

Audacity 1.2.6, Windows Me Sound card built in on the board so I don't really know what it is; it comes with C-media drivers which have a variety of options.

I've finally found out what the lost file problem is. Audacity treats its working directory as a 100% scratch directory, so deletes ALL files found there when it exits.

You have some work to do on your Windows interface.

The Audacity file sizes add up to what they should be. I've about 120 GB free, almost entirely defragged. I've recorded 4 GB videos on the system severa...

I'm using 1.2.6 on Windows Me (disc FAT32 150 GB) and can't save any recording longer than a minute or so. The recording process from vinyl seems to work properly (stereo 44100 Hz) but when I save project it produces a hundred little 1MB files, then crashes when I try to reload it. Export to .WAV on...
