Audacity and Surface 4 Laptop
I’ve used Audacity on several computers. However, I have a new Surface 4 Laptop and can’t seem to connect the two. I’m not getting any “Line In” once I connect the USB cable. I tried reinstalling Audacity but, no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Re: Audacity and Surface 4 Laptop
Windows can hide unused audio devices,
and can have a (user set) preference (default) for a particular audio device.

Re: Audacity and Surface 4 Laptop
You might not see "line-in" but you should see "USB... something", or maybe the name of the device.
Also, plug-in the USB device before you start Audacity.

Ensure that you have given Audacity permission to access the "microphone". (In the Windows Permissions settings, Microsoft use the word "microphone" to mean "all audio input devices").

What audio input (recording) and outputs (playback) does Windows say are available?
