Audacity Forum

I tried it out again just now and I successfully recorded two independent tracks using a vocal mic plugged into the rear mic jack, but only after I had unchecked the "mute" box for the "Microphone" control in addition to the "Line Volume" control. You probably only nee...

Not sure I'll find the time but I'll have a look at the source code. On http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Windows, at line To develop in C/C++ for Windows you need a second download from Microsoft, the "Platform SDK", or the later "Windows SDK". Check here for the ...
