Audacity Forum

Hi gurus

I finally realized that after going around and around to find a workaround to my IDT problem and what u hear not been able to work, I bought me a Sound Blaster X-fi sound card, I installed the card and now when I open audacity I can see the "what you hear" option, I choose the option and hit record while I am listening the music on my compute (Internet Music) but nothing records, no sounds in been recorded by AU. the sound card is connected but I dont know what to do from here.

Thanks for any help I can get.

thanks gurus

is this really external?
does it connect via usb?
what drivers are you using ??
may not be supported by audacity.
did you select usb for your i/o device?

really need complete details to offer better suggestions.

<<<the sound card is connected >>>

So it is an external sound card?

Sometimes you can eliminate a lot of problems right away by resetting Audacity preferences to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. Audacity wakes up in 44100, 32-bit, mono and nobody supports that.

Restart Audacity.
