sound issue

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

I have linked Audacity to my Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen interface and microphone and selected the correct options for the input and output but when I record there is no sound-just a flat line

I have windows 10 and audacity 2.4.2 downloaded

any help would be appreciated ( in very simple language please!)

Are the LED indicators on the Scarlett showing a signal? If you shout into the mic with the gain turned-up do the indicators turn red?

If you plug headphones into the interface and select direct-monitor are you hearing anything?

and selected the correct options for the input and output

You selected the Scarlett (or something that says “USB”) as your [u]Audacity Recording Device[/u]?

Yes the LED lights are showing and if I shout with the gain turned up the gain indicator turns red

headphones dont seem to make much difference - I can hear with or without them (they came with the Scarlett package)

yes I selected Scarlett as my recording device

not sure what I did but I seem to have resolved the issue

thanks
