Audacity Forum

Now I am thoroughly confused. I just replied that I AM using a turntable with a built-it pre-amp. So why are you recommending a pre-amp? And I had no choice about the sound card--as I said before the sound chipset on my computer motherboard quit working. I had to replace it with a card because not e...

Yes. I mean mono. I guess my age is showing! When I first began buying records as a pre-teen, everything was mono and we called it hi-fi. Then in my teens, along came stereo, but we still thought of mono as hi-fi. Sorry. Now my problem has changed a little. My turntable is an Audio-Technica AT PL50....

When I record a stereo record with Audacity, the right and left tracks are different when I have it set up as line-in rather than mic. If I switch the input to mic, they are both the same. If I record a Hi-Fi record (yes, I still have a lot of those!) both tracks are the same on mic or line-in. My o...

I have a Xonar DX sound card. On this card there is a combined Mic/Line In jack. If a mic is hooked up and selected as the default recording devied then the input is mono; if a stereo input device is hooked up and selected as the default device, it sees and inputs both tracks. I do not have a mic ho...

Well, the computer is back from the hospital. The computer doctor never did figure out exactly what the problem was--everything indicates that the sound chipset is good and working fine, but even he couldn't get any sound through it. So he put in a PCI sound card. I now have sound through the extern...

Unfortunately, that is the conclusion I have come to, also. Thanks so much for your help. When I get this little hiccup resolved, I will worry about the next--which is figuring out how to get my old 78s, 8-tracks, and cassettes converted to MP3s. I've already ripped all my CDs and have converted all...

I also deleted the sound drivers in Device Manager, plugged the speakers back in, and rebooted the computer to rebuild the drivers. Still nothing.

Followed the instructions on the web site involving the Control Panel/Sound--everything okay. Turned computer off, unplugged everything including speakers. Tested speakers on my laptop--they worked fine. Tried plugging the speakers back in--still nothing. Turned computer off again, unplugged speaker...

The speakers are not muted: I had already checked that. I checked the levels in the other program that I use for music (Creative MediaSource) because that sometimes affects things, but it was not muted or low either. My speakers are turned on and the sound turned up. I even tried restoring my system...

I have been using Audacity with an Audio-Technica turntable connected via the microphone jack on the back of the computer. Everything has been working just fine. Now I need to use my really old turntable (1970s) to record my old 78s. It is connected via an ION MixMeister through an USB port. I have ...
