Comments (7)Thank you, Everyone, for your help.:) I went into the C drive last night and found a couple Audacity files, so deleted them, then downloaded an older version of the program, shut down for the night, then installed it this morning, and it seems to be working, hip hip hooray! There's a faint background whistle--probably caused by our el cheapo desktop speakers--but maybe we can edit that out with the program. Now, if I can figure out how to include LAME so as to save as MP3s, we'll have it made. I downloaded the zipfile and have it on desktop, but when Audacity asks where the file is saved, it's not showing up. No biggie, we can live without that, if we have to.:) Thanks again, y'all. You've made my day!:) And, Raven, I'm going to check out your suggested program right now. Thank you.:)...See MoreAudacity
Comments (8)yes you have a built in mic somewhere on your system, often times they are on the monitor or the keyboard. Only the older systems required a stand alone mic most newer ones all have a built in mic somewhere. You can look around for it, it is just a very small looking hole....See MoreIs anyone using Audacity with Vista?
Comments (7)I've just installed Audacity, version 1.2.6, in Windows Vista Home Premium and found that recording doesn't work. The problem concerned a lack of recording device within the operating system because the device was disabled by default. Windows Vista: Enabling a Recording Device. -------------------------------------------- Select : 'Start : Control Panel : Hardware and Sound : Sound' The small 'Sound' window includes 'Playback', 'Record' and 'Sounds' tabs. Select the 'Record' tab. Within the 'Record' tab, within the 'Select a recording device below to modify settings:' RIGHT-Click within this blank area and select 'Show Disabled Devices' It is likely that the 'Stereo Mix' associated with the sound card is disabled. RIGHT-Click and select 'Enable'. While here, select the 'Properties' of the Stereo Mix' device. Within the Properties there is likely to be a 'Levels' tab. Select this and ensure that the level is reasonable high - otherwise the recordings will be at a very low/quiet level. OK this and return to Audacity. It should now record. Other Issues: ------------- I suspect that enabling the Stereo Mix feature of the sound card could cause problems with some of Vista's multimedia playing software. The intention of Vista is to stop users recording copyrighted materials! (And even if your use is legitimate, the secure pipe for media has been broken and might stop the media player working properly). Hope this helps....See More- 7 years ago
