Up until now, I have had no problem recording into a microphone even if there are other parts or if I have headphones in. I had no problem recording a guitar part today (with my headphones in) until suddenly, when I hit record, all I hear is silence (despite there being other parts) while I am recording. When I try to play it back, still silence. Turns out, my headphones only work when my mic is not plugged into my computer, but this is bad because I need my headphones so the play back sound will not be picked up by the mic, and I just want to avoid recording with my laptop speakers at all cost.
I went into settings to make sure the microphone is the default device, it already was. I went under “transport options” and turned on software play through, did not work. I tried to reset my laptop and that did not work neither. Under “sound” and then “communications” the setting is on “do nothing” like it should.
The Microphone is on, there is nothing else plugged except for my headphones. This is has not been a problem until 30 minutes ago and I do not recall doing anything drastic or differently between the minute or so window between it working and not working.
This seems like a lot, I hope I’m not being overbearing.
