I have Windows 8.1 Pro and successfully installed Audacity software that came with the “audio ezcap” I ordered to convert music cassette tapes to digital files.
The instructions require me to edit my preferences in Audacity, but the exact options are not listed.
So, this is what I selected:
Host: Windows DirectSound (rather than MME)
Playback: Primary Sound Driver (rather than Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC)
Recording:
Device: Microphone Array (2- USB PnP Audio Device) - this was the only option with the term “USB” included
Channels: 2 (Stereo) (rather than 1 (Mono))
The cassette device works fine since sound comes out when I connect it to a speaker, but my computer does not recognize the connected device containing the cassette.
The “green” play button and “red” record button are not greyed out and can be selected, but nothing happens.
Does anyone have any tips to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
