Subject:Need Help Getting Started!!! Posted by: djrichb Date:6/26/2002 10:59:09 AM Ok, this may seem elementary to y'all, but I can't get the audio to record. I have my mixer plugged into the input socket in the back of my computer, however the audio levels don't show anything going through. Am I plugged in the wrong socket? Am I not enabling the right things? What do I need to do? Rich

Double click on the icon in your lower right task bar that represents the mixer for your sound card. Different mixers/sound cards will give different screens. Go thru the various options and you should find setting screens for playback and recording. Make certain Line in is set to be used and not set to mute. Some menus will identify some inputs in a manner that is not readily apparent just what they are for - experiment. Perhaps someone else will have better suggestions.
