Hi
I have downloaded the latest Audacity to my Toshiba Satellite C660 (Win 7) Laptop
I can use Audacity OK on my Desktop. But on the laptop I can only record from the built-in mike!
I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times to no avail.
The options next to the Mike symbol are "microsoft soundmapper Input" & "Microphone Realtek High Definitio......"
I use the former but the latter option doesn't work either
In Preferences Devices microsoft soundmapper is selected but it makes NO difference!
Help!

Re: HELP! NEWBIE CANNOT TURN OFF INTERNAL MIKE
Some computers don't offer the "stereo mix" aka "what-u-hear" option in Windows recording devices, ( which is a way of recording what you can hear on the computer).harlen wrote:I have downloaded the latest Audacity to my Toshiba Satellite C660 (Win 7) Laptop

If you don't have "stereo mix" or equivalent option on the windows recording devices, download the latest Audacity version, (currently version 2.0.6), and select Windows WASAPI as the "host" in Preferences [:Devices], and select "speakers" as the recording device ...harlen wrote:The options next to the Mike symbol are "microsoft soundmapper Input" & "Microphone Realtek High Definitio......"I use the former but the latter option doesn't work either

But glad you got it sorted - another trick you could have used is to use (software) loopback as your Recording Device with your host set to WASAPI - see this page in the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/de ... .html#host
