Please log in for more thread options recorder and two webcam apps. I have a QuickCam Web, and concede that that mic may be dead. It shows though in Device Manager and that the drivers are there and working. I also have a mic plugged into the Soundblaster card. Its sound comes out of the speakers Ok, but doesn't get to any kind of recorder. No recording when either input is selected. The TV Tuner (on the video card) sound goes to the Line-In input. OK. That sound records if the TV is on - even if it is muted! TV sound also comes out of the Wave/MP3, delayed a little. Has to be muted when Tv is used. FOr some reason sound cards have always been my nemesis. Will welcome any comments. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options This will be either useful, or an insult to your intelligence, but here goes anyway... Double click on the speaker icon on the system tray and it will open the Volume settings. Choose properties from the options menu and change to recording. Make sure microphone is ticked in that box and click OK. Now that you have selected recording, check that the mic it is not muted in the volume control dialog! | |||||||||||||

Not an insult, and thanks. That seemed to work for the recorder, but

The TV app is one culprit. | |||||||||||||
