I have Audacity downloaded on my PC (XP) and it works a dream. But … absolute silence on my Windows 7 laptop, I just can’t get any signal. When “saving”, the input level is zero, even when I push all levels (input and output) to maximum (see attachment). Help!!!
What are you trying to record? You can’t get too detailed. “I’m trying to record my lawnmower with a Blue Snowball USB microphone.”

I tried 2 saves…
1 the BBC World Services programme of the Kings Colleg Cambridge Xmas Day Choir, and
2 a mp3 file of mine, which I was playing with RealPlayer.

Self Recording is not a guaranteed service so success can vary with the soundcard, computer and version of Windows. Some computers don’t do this at all and you will need purpose-built software. Koz
