Audacity not recording sounds

Post by joshinda » Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:09 pm

Hi guys,

I recently installed the new brilliant Windows 7 OS on my pc, having previously used XP.

However, my favourite program, Audacity, will not let me record sounds on my computer!

Stereo mix or What U Hear are not available, and I have enabled ALL possible devices in the sound control panel.

The 4 options I have are:

Microphone
Line-in
Auxiliary
S/PDIF-in

I have tried every combination with MME and Directsound on the Audacity settings, including Microsoft Sound Mapper, but still the dreaded horizontal blue line of nothingness!

I am using a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card, and I know that it works because Replay Music can record sounds with it.

Please help me, I'm desperate to be able to use Audacity again!

Thanks a lot
