Audacity Forum

Thanks. I did that but to no avail. I finally got it working, though. Dell provided some drivers to me and Audacity can now record. It's funny though, how the first time I installed them, they didn't work. Only after two tries did they work.

Until a few days ago, Audacity worked perfectly on my Dell Studio XPS 7100 desktop PC. The PC has Windows 7 Pro installed. The audio card is integrated into the PC's motherboard. I replaced a bad hard drive and reinstalled Audacity 2.0 from the .exe installer. Audacity 2.0 is now unable to record au...

I just installed Audacity 1.3.13 on my PC that has Windows 7 installed. When I attempted to record a webinar, the following problem occurred: After I click the Record button, the following error message appears on my screen: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings a...

Steve, thanks for the time you spent helping me with this error. In a state of utter frustration, I called my computer tech guy, who installed some of his own drivers and got it working.

Whew.........and thanks again!

Thanks Steve, This issue took a unexpected twist since I told you that Dell was going to replace the mic. I received a voicemail message this afternoon from the Dell tech that attempted to help me this morning. She said that upon further review of my case, she discovered that my computer isn't suppo...

Dell has offered to replace the Front Mic since my computer is still under warrant...

Yes, I do have the install disks. I used them first. But since the unit is a year old, I went to Dell's website to see if there was anything new.

Thanks for your reply, Steve. I logged onto Dell's website last night and downloaded all the audio drivers for my specific model. I installed everything and still............ I opened the computer's Device Manager, looked under Sound, Video and games and found "High Definition Audio Device". Althoug...

Hey Steve, I'm having the same problems as Alex and 7ZSX4. I'm using MS Vista on my Dell laptop. I was using Vista with Audacity 1.2.6 with no problems until I just reformatted my hard drive. I had no problem recording online material (ie. YouTube), either. I installed version 1.3.x when I reinstall...

I'm using Audacity version 1.2.6 on a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop with Windows Vista Business installed. The unit has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with a 2 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory. When I use Audacity to record audio from the internet, the recording levels are generally low (as opposed to when I rec...
