Input problem
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 9:07 pm
So,
I searched and searched and found nothing quite like my problem.
I use an HP Deluxe Webcam as my input. This is my first real shot at actually recording something. So I opened Audacity and it automatically picked up my webcam as an input device. Awesome.
I recorded a few things and didn't like the peaking, so I tried to adjust the input volume (which said it was already down to 0.0)
I did the test input on the mixer toolbar and tried to adjust the volume. I don't know what happened, I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, but now all of a sudden Audacity won't read input from the mic. I go to Edit -> Preferences -> Audio I/O. The Output is the Microsoft Sound Mapper, and the Input is listed as my HP Deluxe Webcam, but if I press record or try to test input nothing happens.
My little light on the webcam does turn on which I take to mean that it knows that it's supposed to be in use, but Audacity isn't taking anything from it.
Anybody got any ideas?
