Subject:RE: Recording Reply by: kryten Date:8/7/2001 9:39:55 PM It's not clear as to whether you have both 4.5 and 5 installed now (with 4.5 levels running correctly), or if you started with a fresh install of Windows and SF5 and are now running 5 only. Also, which version of Windows are you running?

Go to Options/Preferences and click on the "Wave" tab. Now select your sound card as the playback and record device. "Microsoft Sound Mapper" is probably selected currently. Ted

Subject:RE: Recording Reply by: house Date:8/8/2001 9:00:54 PM started fresh with windows 98 and only soundforge 5.0v not 4.5, but when i had 4.5 installed it was working with no problems.
Subject:RE: Recording Reply by: kryten Date:8/8/2001 10:05:33 PM Try this and see if it helps. Double-click on your speaker icon in the system tray (next to the clock). This should bring up Play Control. Click on Options and select Properties. Select the Record radio button. Make sure that all the types of input you use have a check in the box next to the item then hit OK. Then make sure the sliders are all the way up (this may take some experimenting). Be sure to select the input you are recording from. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure you have the latest version of DirectX from MS. Good luck.
