Recording Trouble

Post by smurfyboy88 » Tue May 04, 2010 9:39 pm

Hi guys

I'm running Audacity 1.2.6 and Windows XP SP2 (and Vista on another laptop)

I can't record fully - I'm only given options for "Microphone" or "Line In", with no option for "Wave Out Mixer" so I can record stuff I listen to as mp3. Any reasons for this?

Thanks

Go to this page and scroll down to the XP section: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel
Note that input sources are sometimes available to use, but hidden. If you cannot see the input you're looking for, click "Volume" under the "Sound Recording" panel again, then Options > Properties. Select your sound device in the Mixer Device panel, and ensure all the boxes in the window below are checked:
