Audacity Not Seeing USB Port Source [SOLVED]
Greetings. Yesterday I installed Audacity 2.1.0 on my Macbook running os x 10.7.5 and it opened up fine. It appears to be picking up audio when I select the internal mic as a source, so all should be well (he said naively). Unfortunately, I want to use an external audio source via a usb port, and have the appropriate analog/digital converter, but it doesn't appear as a source option, only "built-in input" and "built-in microphone". I checked that the driver was installed by the converter and found "USB PnP Audio Device" listed in the computer's USB bus, as it should be. So, not being a big techno-head, I am stuck. The hardware end seems to be as it should, but the Audacity software doesn't see it as a source. Where is the issue? Thanks.

Re: Audacity Not Seeing USB Port Source
Audacity checks for new stuff when it starts. So connect everything and make sure it's all working perfectly and then start Audacity.
