Malfunctioning "monitor input"

Post by Harold Resnick » Fri Aug 01, 2008 8:59 pm

To my new friends in the Audacity chat world. My problem is this: I use Windows XP. I have an Ion machine, with a USB port. I use the Audacity 1.2.6 download version. While downloading LP's my "monitor input" stopped functioning. I have difficulty without hearing the music, when it strats & ends. To download without this feature, for me, would create downloading problems into my Itunes library. Can anyone tell me how to get this function operable again? Thanks good people>

Harold,

try this page from the Wiki first: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... turntables

There could well be enough info. to help you there - if you still have problems after that, post back.

BTW the ION manuals used to have a couple of errors:
1) they didn't tell you that when you plug the USB device in, control of all sound services is passed to the USB device - so you need to redirect the sound output back to your PC's onboard soundcard - in both Windows and Audacity
2) control over the input level is passed to the USB device and the Audacity Mic slider is inoperable - fortunately the ION has a gain/volume control - a little knurled wheel underneath at the back
