Re: Live radio stream query - urgent advice needed

In Firefox, I get the same box, but no relevant info? - can I get the same effect in Firefox or not? In simple terms, there are 2 different standards for writing code for web pages - there is the W3C standard (The World Wide Web Consortium), and there is Microsoft. Ironically, Microsoft are members...

Re: Can't get Audacity v1.2.6 to record from Line In or a mi

Sometimes it's the simplest things that trip us up :D

My next suggestion was going to be to try a different cassette player - What was it that Sherlock Holmes said... "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".

Re: distortion in phones while recording

You seems to have ruled out most of the possibilities apart from the USB struggling to cope with bi-directional data. I can't think of any clear "cause" of the problem other than the USB is not performing sufficiently fast and so corrupting the playback data. On the positive side, at least...

Re: Can't get Audacity v1.2.6 to record from Line In or a mi

The RealTek mixer settings look correct to me. If I'm understanding correctly that's what we're trying to make active/available so I can record. Right? It is convenient if the drop down menu is displayed, but it is not essential. As you've noticed, the RealTek's own mixer application looks incomplet...

Re: Live radio stream query - urgent advice needed

I have been using Winamp to listen via the above lately, and that is better than Windows Media Player..... What I have noticed that there are gaps in the live stream, which really spoils the listening/recording experience. The chances are that there is nothing that you can do about it. It sounds li...

Re: Amplitube and other plugins

No guarantees, but try with the latest version of Audacity (1.3.11 from here http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Nightly_Builds ) Copy the plug-in to the plug-ins folder and in the Edit menu tell Audacity to "Rescan for new effects". Then restart Audacity. If it doesn't work then ...
