I have searched everywhere on Audacity including the manual to help me get my mic working through Audacity. My voice doesn’t show up in the recording level area. When I play it back only the background music that I connected to plays and no words. I had AI send a list of things to go through and I have done it all. I have checked it in another recorder and it works perfectly, so I know that it is something I’m missing on the platform. I am using Windows 10 on my laptop. The headset is also plugged into the mic. These are the mic details: USB Microphone, Computer Condenser Gaming Mic for PC/Laptop/PS4/5, Headphone Output, Volume Control, USB Type C Plug and Play, LED Mute Button, for Streaming, Podcast, Studio Recording. … I’m not too techy so this was the description on Amazon! Thank you for helping!!!
Windows 10 has a privacy setting: you have to explicitly permit an app (like Audacity) to use your microphone … https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#Why_can’t_I_record_in_Windows
Thank you! But Audacity is already showing on the list and I had enabled the app permissions. I may need to look for a different audio platform.
