Problem statement: I start Audacity, start a video with audio on Youtube, push the Record button in Audacity and see recording meter advancing through time, but no indication that it’s receiving sound input. And after saving the project and then trying to play, i get confirmation…nothing was recorded.
I’ve checked all my settings and have no idea what is going on. Platform is a lenova Yoda 720 running Windows 10 and the latest version of Audacity, 3.7.3
Any help or advice appreciated.
To record YouTube audio the computer speakers are selected as the recording device, see …
Thank you for your help thus far. It is indeed recording now, but there is a background noise that is overwhelming the audio I’m trying to record. There must be a setting somewhere that I have misadjusted, but i can’t figure out what.
Ah. It seems I needed to turn off Audible Input Monitoring. Once I did that the background noise seems to have gone away.
