Problem Recording

Post by KapoleiGrown » Sun Jul 24, 2011 1:04 pm

OS: Windows 7
Version: 1.3.13

After a couple of months of not using Audacity, I needed to use it again to record YouTube but this time the actual recording was flatline and did not playback any audio.
Stereo mix is set as my default device. In Audacity, my settings are selected as Windows Direct > Speakers > Stereo Mix > 1 (Mono) Input.

I don't remember changing any settings since I last used it and cannot figure out why it has stopped working. Any suggestions?

I had looked at that link before and have tried to follow the help as best as I could. Audacity is still not working properly.

In the Windows Control Panel, what are all the available devices for "Recording" and for "Playback" and which are set as the default devices?
(You could just post screenshots of these settings).
