No sound from USB microphone

Post by coban » Wed Mar 14, 2012 11:15 am

Dear audio city,

I have recently bought a USB microphone from skytronic and installed audio city, I have window 7 and have spoke to a technician from skytronic and they say it should work. My computer is detecting my microphone but no sound for my microphone is coming out of audio city 1.3 software and it is not recording. Can you please get back to me asap on this topis to wxplain how I can get sound out of audio city and also make recorings.

Thankyou

I've split your post to a new topic.

I think that your spell checker may be playing tricks on you - the name of this program is "Audacity" not "audio city" ;)

To use a USB microphone, ensure that it is plugged in and recognised by the computer before you launch Audacity.
When you launch Audacity, set the Recording Input to the USB option in the Device Toolbar.
Set the number of channels to "1 (mono)".
