Soundblaster use
Posted: Fri May 14, 2021 1:55 am
Use windows 10 and audacity 3.0.0 Trying to record audio using audacity...originally used Soundblaster x-fi go! pro with no problem (model 1290, apparently no longer supported [although support still tried to help])...did some sort of reset and tried re-loading soundblaster CD (that came with original unit), but it only loads to 13%. Worked before with same computer
Downloaded new driver from website (may be for newer unit) Finally loaded OK, but audacity screen mic info is blank (used to show soundblaster, I think)
If go thru regular Computer Mic input, get low volume and too much fuzz (mic input on audacity reads Hi Def microphone). Poor audio quality was, I think, the reason I originally got soundblaster.
Spent a several hours chatting with soundblaster support...Mike finally gave up and passed me to a higher tier.
I'm hoping somebody at Audacity has a solution. Thx
