Recording Audio
Aug 17, 2009
I have a dell lalptop with windows vista basic. I have used the sound recorder before but the quality is not that great (using the inbuilt mic). So today I brought a microphone headset (cheap one). But I still find a little bit of background noise using the sound recorder. I need this because I do poetry and I am doing some recorded peotry for use as backing for a dvd. Im just looking for the cheapest resonable option. Has anyone got any ideas? I have done a couple of peoms to dvd but the sound lets it down. This is just a project at the moment so I dont wont to spend louds of money on equipment.

Im trying to record audio but only record what I hear & not record from my mic. Problem is my mic is my only option. I updated my drivers which are Conexant High Def Smart Audio221 & also NVIDIA High Def Audio. But after I did that I only a 1 single option to choose from when I look under recording devices. And it is showing disabled devices as well. Any idea's on what im doing wrong and/or what I need? Basically I want to record what only comes out of my speakers & not pic up any backround noise from my mic.

Running a Toshiba Satellite (nice speakers) under Vista Home Premium SP2. There is a series of audio interviews on the web that I want to record on my HD. Currently, I'm having acceptable results simply playing through the speakers and picking it up through the microphone using Sound Recorder. It's not exactly high fidelity, but I'm dealing with speech, not music. The only problem is that it's vulnerable to any noise in the area, and four to six grandkids can produce that effortlessly.
I asked Geek Squad if I could just jumper the earphones output to the mic input, thereby blocking out external noise. She said it wouldn't work because ... yadda yadda .. powered mic ... yadda yadda ... a lot of extra noise. She confused me further with talk about software that will do this. I tried a free trial of one, but it looked as though it was still depending about the output from speakers and said nothing about gagging grandkids. Is there a way to play audio from a website and record it on my HD without depending on immediate airspace?

I have an HP dv6500z laptop, running 32-bit Vista Home Premium. It has a single microphone input jack , but no line-in jack. The microphone jack has both, mono & stereo capability. I know that line-in and microhone jacks are not the same, but do not know if Wirdows Audio recorder software (or similar) accounts for this. Can I use the microphone input jack to record stereo signals output from another
device (e.g., a Reel-to-reel tape recoder, cassette palyer, turntable, ...). If so, does Windows provide any documentation regarding the parameters that need to be set. What about recording levels ? Is setting these mainly trial & error, or is there some basic Rule-of-Thumb to go by ? Does Windows have a similar Video Recorder application and doumentation ?

I'll be attending a 5 day course, 8 hrs per day. I'd like to take my Vista laptop with me and record the voice. I'm worried that I'll run out of disk space pretty fast. Is there any software that would allow me to record in a compressed form straight away?

Need a software that will allow me to extract audio segments from a Dvd. I'm very new to CD/DVD RW so hopefully it won't be too complicated for me.

I frequently record movies on TV and view the dvr-ms recordings in VMC. I have some movies I would like to permanently save to disk and view in my Media Browser library. Although they originated as TV, is there an easy way to locate the movie metadata and introduce it into Media Browser so the covers, etc. show?

when Vista first came out I found out that you couldnt record any direct sound like you can in XP. I was just wondering if there was been any fixes/work-arounds out recently?

"no audi device installed, in volume mixer"
Im trying to help a friend fix their sound on their HP Compaq Presario F500 (2EA)Laptop. They have the annoying red cross over the audio icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen (No Volume Mixer).
I have tried numerous things like:-
- Completely uninstalled the (Conexant High Definition) drivers in device manager, restarted and let Vista install them again.
- Downloaded latest drivers from RealTek,, and also HP
- Unfortunately their are no system restore points before the problem happened.
I have a sneaking suspision that either Windows Update installed something that is clashing with this problem or I herd that Itunes may have somethign to do with it (Which was installed near the time).

I've dug a little deeper since yesterday and thought about the future uses to which I might wish to put direct recordings. So can anyone steer me towards some simplistic software for recording .wma files - 192kbit/s preferred.

In XP I could record audio with sound recorder from anything I could hear. For example, if I was playing a WAV file, or listening to a song on the internet, I could record it. Now in Vista it only allows me to record from my microphone. I checked disabled devices and still can not get anything but the microphone to show up. Is there anyway around this besides sticking an audio cable from the headphone jack into my mic input? So far Vista has me aggravated with things I have lost, you would think a newer operating system would allow you more flexibility, not take it from you.

I need to know if anyone is aware of any software that can record everything that is being done on a PC I own and store this on a file in that computer or on a server in my own company where we can access it from another computer and view the recording without interfering with the usage of the recorded machine. Is there such a thing?

I'm trying to create music files from cassettes using an ACER 5920 lapton (Vista Home Premium) and AUDACITY. I cannot seem to get a signal into AUDACITY, although I han hear an output from the computer's speakers. I have connected the cassette player's headphone output to the computer's LINE-IN jack. I have set the device preferences in AUDACITY and have right-clicked the speaker icon and set the recording device to LINE-IN but still no-go!

Is there a way to stopVista from automatically closing WinExplorer upon ejecting CD/DVDR after recording/labeling? Suddenly it's doing it, but I believe upto recent times such annoyance was not happening. Eject disk and continue working in WinExplorer, but now I need to restart and go BACK to a folder where I left off, often burried deep in filetree.

I recently purchased a Dell desktop with 64-bit Vista Premium. Audacity 1.2.6 would not record: I got a message telling me to "check the input device settings and the project sample rate." I checked in Audacity>Edit>Preferences, & there were no Recording Device options listed at all.
After Googling all possible avenues for advice, I found an extremely simple solution… that actually works!
* Select Personalization from the Control Panel.
* Select Sounds
* Select the Recording tab.
* In my case, there were 3 options shown: Front Mic, Microphone, & Line In, all grayed out & showing as not plugged in.
* Right click on any one of them choose "show disabled devices."
* This brought up the Stereo Mix option.
* Select Stereo Mix, Choose Properties, and click Enable.
* Voila! Now it worked the same way as Wave Out Mix in Windows XP, & I could record streaming audio with no problems!

I have attempted to use the "Stereo Mix" or "What You Hear" recording feature found in previous versions of Windows with the new Vista Home Premium, but it doesn't appear under "Recording" sound devices (even when hidden and disabled are chosen to appear). Has this been removed in Vista?

I have a Gateway MX6445 i bought it back in 2006 i recently updated from xp to vista ultimate x64 when i updated it everything was ok except audio. The audio tab has a big red x above it, and when i go to the control panel it says no audio output device is installed. I have tried unistalling and rebooting and that doesnt work because it searches for the audio drives and then ask for a disk, well i dont have a disk and then it tells me it could not find the drive and to contact the manufacturer

Prior to installing Vista, Windows XP had drivers for my Conexant Sound Card but 3 days ago I installed Vista Ultimate and I can't seem to find drivers for my sound card, I used Everest Ultimate and it shows my Sound Card as Riptide Audio Device, the problem is that currently I'm making my speakers work on the onboard audio, But the output is too low since the speakers lack amplifiers. Tell me if my Sound Card Diver in XP would be compatible in Vista! PS: I've tried Windows Update and It says that it couldn't find the drivers for my Sound Card.

If I run the default Vista audio drivers the output volume on my external speakers is very low (i would guess 10% of maximum) with all volume controls set to maximum. Double and Triple Checked - but no change. I have read here an in other forums to try updating to the new Realtek Audio drivers. I have done so, but when I do all of the volume comes from the internal speaker only on the tower. No audio coming out of external speakers. The Realtek Audio Manager in the system tray show a red (ish) speaker.

I used to connect my HP Pavilion dv9260nr Notebook to my Sharp Aquos LCD tv through an HDMI cable and got audio and video w/ no problems. About 2 months ago I reinstalled Vista Ultimate x64. I haven't tried to reconnect until recently and now I get video but no audio.
I have tried to set SPDIF Interface to default like I used to but it doesn't work. You can see the green "mixer" bar moving, but I can't hear anything. Also, when it's set to default the configure box is greyed out.
I have the latest Conexant High Definition Audio Driver, 4.33.1.61.
I also have Vista Codec pack v511 installed.
Seems like I need to "enable" hdmi somewhere but I can't find anywhere to.

I've just got a new laptop which has Vista Basic on. Everything seemed fine until I tried playing MPEG 2 videos: the video itself looked fine but there was no audio. I've spent hours on this now and I still can't find an answer to my problem. I'm getting desperate now:

Is there a way to rip just the audio from DVDs? I have a few live concerts on DVDs, and I would just like to listen to the audio of them all on my MP3 player. Transferring the whole contents of the DVDs would take up way too much storage on my MP3 player. Can Windows Media Player do this?

For those who are using Vista x64 flavor with the SRS Audio Sandbox topping!
Many complains i have seen on the net about sound crashing when using this combo.
I also have the same problem with SRS.
I came up with the why....? but not the how to fix it.
I have an MSI sli v2, with the HD realtek alc888, 7.1 capable audio connector.
I used to have installed windows xp x86, in this system and used SRS 32bit version and it worked great, never had a crash.
Now I re installed my system with the lattest trend that is ....Windows Vista Ultimate x64....i had to get myself the x64 version of SRS. I installed it and ran it, and now the problems start. It sounds great untill it crashes.
(I did install the 32 bit vesrsion of SRS in Vista Ultimate x86 for a friend and he doesn't suffer from crashes)
So my deduction here is that the problem lies in the x64 drivers of SRS or the capacity for vista x64 to handdle such a fine program.
(i have not tryed the x64 version of xp yet to single out if it is the xp/vista or is the 32/64 conflicts with SRS)
So if any one wants to join this discussion, to see if we can come up to the solution....i tell you there will be many happy ears out there!
I am one of the addicts to SRS the sound, its so rich! i can't just listen to the plain sound of the realtek eq.

I posted this question a while ago, but didnt get any response. here it is again ( I am kinda desperate now), before I take my copmuter to service, Id like to know if someone had a similar problem. Or a solution. Recently I installed Logitech caemra on my computer.After connecting it I lost audio. No sound in my speakers, not even in headphones. I uninstalled my camera, but it didnt help at all, there is no way I could get the sound back. There didn't seem to be any error with an installation. I dont think my audio driver was corrupted. Is it just a coincidence or did installation caused this problem. How can I get my sound back?
