in Windows XP and earlier, recording inputs such as "microphone" or "stereo mix" could be selected in the Audacity Mixer Toolbar. Currently, the newer audio API in both Windows Vista and 7 means that inputs must be selected in Audacity at Edit > Preferences: Devices.

Error opening sound device when recording: Audacity is subject to Windows 7 and driver behaviour that can cause inputs to be hidden by default. Also, physical input ports such as microphone or line-in ports will not be automatically listed by Windows if there is no input connected to them. As a result of these behaviors, an error may be received when trying to record.

To solve this, go to "Sound" in the Windows Control Panel, show the disabled and disconnected inputs, then enable and make default the required input. Make sure a physical input such as a microphone or line-in is properly connected to the computer. For more detailed instructions, see the Mixer Tooolbar page ( http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... es#vistacp )
