RECORD THROUGH MIKE IN AUDACITY IN WINDOWS 7 DO NOT WORK

(1/4) > >>

jraju:
hI, i am using audacity for free recording thro mike, my songs and playback for improvements. it was fine working in windows xp, but in windows 7 , i could not record, the recording process is being shown, but when playback no sound heard. I have tried to install realtek audio drivers from the web, but it shows stereo mix and some extra fittings. The default settings have been maintained. But i could not hear sound.
       The other music thro mpc is playing without any problem. Would you pl give some solution, sir,

Hi jraju,

I use Audacity a lot, maybe I can help you?

You say that you have recorded successfully, and presumably have a nice waveform graphic to show that? If yes, then I would check that you have chosen the correct playback device for Audacity to use, ie your current sound card?

I have highlighted where you change this in the attached screenshot. Hope that helps you out.

Hi, I attach the settings iget when i open the audacity in windows 7s. There was no problem in xp os regarding this software. But the problem is what should be the settings to be adjusted to get the recording done. I am hearing other musics thro the speakers. But recording in windows 7, i do not get any graphic stream that you mentioned , Previously it was bluish graph. Now i am getting some green graphic stream movements, when i record, but no sound.

Samson:
So no blue waveform graphic means you have no input sound to record. Check in your advanced settings on your audio card that the mic/ line in is not muted or the level is too low and that you select the appropriate input within Audacity, as shown below, you may also need to adjust the input level using the slider control too..

If all else fails, then head over to the Audacity forum, http://forum.audacityteam.org/  They are a very helpful, and friendly bunch, I'm sure you'll get answers there. Good luck.

Hi,,thank you for response. But i find no creative blaster and all that. I did downloaded drive from 4shared.com. In windows 7, you donot get information as quick as xp. I think the xp is the best microsoft system os. It helps all other softwares unlike windows 7. Coming to your point, i did go through their options in windows 7 , and it is a little bit confusing, they say stereo mix  and all that which i could not find in windows 7 driver updates automatic. Even sound card particulars are not clear in windows 7. If we go the device manager and sound, then there is one driver and it is high definitiion audio driver and that the software driver owner is microsoft. There is no stereo mix, which audacity forum says is a must. What to do
