"If you know the duration of the second side before you start recording, you can make a selection of the right length (plus a bit extra for safety)"...

How do I do that?

Okay cool thanks for the tip. Seemed like before I could start the next album side on the following line and even if I selected the recording right above it the new recording would start at the tidy beginning like the first recording and then continue until I pressed stop. Not very smart about tech ...

2.3.3, win10

I must have accidentally clicked something because it wasn't doing that before - the new recording stops at the end of the recording above it.

Because it won't playback using the same host/device settings - that is what I'm saying - I get the error if I try to play the sound back after recording.

Why do I have to change the host after recording in order to hear playback? Currently I am digitizing a surround sound 5.1 audio DVD. My speakers in win7 are configured correctly for 5.1 audio. For recording I use the host Windows WASAPI, playback and recording set to my sound card, and 6 channels. ...

Just confirming: I screwed around with this for hours until I finally hit a thread that talked about TURNING ON THE DAMN MICROPHONE in Win10 settings, as it had been turned off in the most recent update.
