I have a new install of Audacity 2.3.0 on Windows 10. My nifty new computer warranted a nifty new install of Audacity.
My problem is that I can’t get the computer microphone out of the recording input. No matter what I select, the monitor displays background/room sound. When I try to record computer audio, like Internet radio stream or local mpg file, it sounds like it was recorded through a microphone laying across the room.
Before - earlier version, and earlier windows - I could select MME, Microsoft Sound Mapper - input, and it would record whatever the computer is sending out the speakers.
My computer is an HP ProOne 400 all-in-one which has integrated microphone/camera. I unplugged other cameras to get their microphones out, and tried other Recording Device settings but no matter what, I’m recording microphone.
problem is not that I can’t record microphone. Problem is that I can only record from microphone. Audio stream gets into Audacity via the microphone, not directly from Windows.
In Settings/Privacy i see that the microphone is turned on; perhaps I need to turn that off?
For post information, I did turn off access to the microphone and Audacity returns an error when I click on the monitor no matter which device settings I choose;
