Re: USB mic not recording w/ surround speakers, faint withou

With Audacity set to record from the AK5370, any RealTek setting should have NO effect on the recording. IThe reason I asked you to try with nothing plugged into the RealTek inputs was to ensure that the RealTek audio device was not stealing back control of the recording input. Have you tried record...

Re: Noise reduction

1) Most turntables have a low level output that is designed to plug into a phono (turntable) input. If you are plugging into anything that does not have a special "phono" input, the turntable should first be plugged into a phono pre-amp, which will amplify the signal and apply suitable equ...

Re: sound not being recorded

Re: USB mic not recording w/ surround speakers, faint withou

Some RealTek devices have an "auto-detect" feature, that is supposed to automatically detect what devices you have plugged in, and into which socket (microphones, main speakers, sub, etc.) Unfortunately, this feature can sometimes get it wrong and screw things up. I'd suggest, as a test, t...

Re: Warning & Error Message & Distorted Recording

Often if Audacity crashes, or is caused to shut down improperly, it will leave a number of project files on your disk. Audacity saves projects as " name .aup" and a folder containing the data for that project called " name _data" From your post you should be able to find these fi...

Re: Can't record stereo mix after reformat?

Don't worry about that box being greyed out, it shouldn't stop you from recording. What is important is that you have the correct input (recording) device selected in "Preferences" AND selected in the Windows Mixer. To test that it is working, click on the "Input Level Meter" (ne...
