Inactive Stereo Mixer drop-down

Post by SteenRyberg » Sun Jan 06, 2008 12:29 pm

Hi. I have just installed Audacity 1.2.6 and plugged in the USB cable.
The software can record and export fine, but only in Mono, since the drop-down button where I am supposed to select Stereo Mix is grey (inactive).

Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Windows XP
Nvdia Nforce mainboard


PS! If I choose Nvidia Nforce as Sound Recording, I can choose Stereo Mix...but then I cannot capture the LPs ofcause :(

Audacity OOTB is set up to default mono - you need to go to Edit/Preferences and select the Audio I/O tab - and set the "Channels" to "2 (Stereo)"
