Audacity Forum

Well, I updated the driver and now I can record either through the microphone or the line in - hurray! However, now my external speakers (plugged into the front jack) won't play. Only the back line out jack works. But, I can at least do my work, I just have to plug and unplug external speakers and h...

Yes, to both questions. I'm going to try upgrading the sound card drivers today. Hopefully that'll solve the problem!

Good idea, thanks. I'll try that.

But when it won't control the inputs, what do you do? Sigh ...

Don't know what to tell you, WC. The screen shot I attached shows what I have and I can't get Audacity to record from line-in. It will only record from the microphone (even when it's muted!). My computer is fairly new, too (about 9 months old), so I can't see why I am having this problem. The MOST i...

Thanks for the ideas. I'll give 'em a try!

(And I KNOW it's screwy that the mic is still picking up when it is allegedly muted. I think that's one of the things that has been driving me crazy here! )

Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. I also don't reply to rude people, but angry people do deserve a reply, especially when they have a valid reason for being angry. When you use a tool every day then find that the tool has been modified and that it is no longer workable, it is very upsetting. As to whether the m...

I tried that. It does NOT work. I have "microphone" muted, yet the ONLY pickup that is recorded is the microphone. I tried recording a CD and an MP3 and they are not registering. Only the microphone works (and that, even when it's muted through Windows Control Panel!). My main question is why would ...

Yep, that's what's missing. The other option does NOT work (how many times do I have to say it?)! And I have restarted. There is NO setting under Devices for selecting the input. You can select between the different sound packages (Windows or otherwise), but there is nothing to select the type of in...

Thanks for the ideas, but that's not the problem. The problem is the pull-down menu that used to be on the toolbar. You clicked that to choose recording via microphone, wave-out mix, line-in, etc. That pull-down is no longer in place and I cannot select which recording input I want to choose. I turn...
