Audacity Forum

Tried pasting-no joy. Audacity input device pull down shows all five ASUS STX Record slider drivers plus MS sound mapper. The STX Line IN is selected and Line is selected in Windows record sliders also (sliders at max). I found a spec for the STX input/output at 2vrms max. I am going to look at my s...

I've tried it that way too, and I get a level of -16 instead of about -6. All sliders at max.

In the ASUS STX mixer panel (Record) I just tried selecting the Mic slider and shutting Mic Boost off. The monitor audio is distorted with Boost on, ok off. Can I use a line input with the Mic selected this way? There probably is an impedance mismatch, but the level shown in Audacity is about -6 now...

I am using the latest ASUS stx driver for XP just before the current beta version. Tried that one too. In the ASUS Xonar control panel, if I select MIX (mixer), the Line slider deselects and I get plenty of audio in Audacity, but it is distorted when recorded. The Line port gets switched to Mic, alt...

Here is what I did today: Uninstalled latest ASUS STX drivers and installed drivers from install disc (older version). Probably not necessary. Audacity defaults to input driver "stereo mix" which selects the mic input not Line. I expanded the Audacity tool bar for input, and now I see the full descr...

I did that. Now the Line input setting on the sound card stays where I set it when I open and close Audacity.
Good.
Bad-now I have no audio in Audacity or the sound card. I think I'll shut everything down and try again tomorrow.

For playback and record, it only shows ASUS STX. IN advanced the mixer panel with the level sliders shows Asus STX and they all work. Use default checked. The five STX entries in Audacity make sense, they may be normal.

MME/ASUS Xonar Essence STX/ASUS Xonar Essence STX/2(stereo)Inp. When I click on the input device tool bar it shows five entries for ASUS Xonar Essence STX. Output device shows one. MS sound mapper shows on both also and no other devices than ASUS. The five entries seems odd (part of prob?). I wonder...

In the Xonar Audio Center, you click on the bottom arrow and it opens the volume sliders. You click on RECORD and you can select the input used with the small buttons at the bottom of each slider. There are a few sliders, two of which are Mic/Line and Mixer. If I select Line, then open Audacity, I h...
