output level control?

Post by pedro assault » Tue Jun 02, 2009 10:03 am

why does my output level control keep reseting to "0"? I can move it, but as soon as i let go with the mouse,it goes back to "0"

also im using a digital 12 track that has all of my recorded music, im using audacity with an iconnex sound card so i can make cds from my recorder. why does everything sound so distorted? any tips or suggestions?

Because your iconnex is a USB device. In which case Audacity hads control over the sound services including gain/volume control to the external USB soundcard

Is there a gain control on the soundcard? From looking at piccies on t'interweb it would appear to have a volume control. Try turning this down.
