Option for USB input disappeared

Post by c00lrev » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:00 pm

I have been recording old cassette tapes using a usb connection. I don't know how, but I now only have "Built In Input" as an option. USB is no longer in the drop down list. I uninstalled Audacity and reinstalled the most current version and still have the same problem. I think I installed from dmg - not entirely sure. I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5

Thanks for any help!

Ensure that the USB device is connected and recognised by your computer before you launch Audacity.
