Cannot get sound recorders to work
in [Windows XP Users]
|
From: kena on 1 Apr 2010 01:21 Windows Media Player's sound is fine. So are any sound files when I click on them to play. The problem is when I attempt to use my sound recorder program to record the sound from a video or any other source. I get a file size, but no audio. Both my recorders were working before I installed WMP 11 from the WPM 9 I had on my machine. I've tried resetting things on my Realtek Audio Manager to no avail. I've tried everything I could think of and failed. I know both of my audio recorders, Perfect Audio Recorder and AD Audio Recorder, were working fine before my WMP update. I should explain that I had to reinstall Win XP Pro the other day. Previously, I did have WMP 11 on my machine and the recorders did work okay with WMP 11. When I reinstalled Windows XP Pro, It gave me WMP 9, that's why I had to download WPM 11 and install that again. This is bummer problem. I like to strip the audio from music videos so I can play them with the car's CD player. It's a real pain not to be able to do this any longer. Yes - I have Googled and cannot find the solution.

A friend recently had a problem like this where recording wouldn't happen. We re-installed the realtek driver & it fixed the problem. He also has a problem where some sliders are greyed out ... we've never been able to fix this one. Cheers Gary

This is driving me buggy. I've went over every dang audio setting on this box and keep coming up with the same dang result: No recordings. I wonder if voodoo would work? I wonder if they list that type of practitioner in the white pages or the yellow pages? Anyway, thanks for trying.

Have you checked in the driver window (the record section) that the mute button for the input device you are taking audio from, hasn't been turned on?

I found the problem. It was in the settings of the recording utility I'm using - AD Recorder I clicked on the RECORDING control in AD Recorder icon in AD Recorder Set it to RECORDING. How in the h--- did I miss that? Too many dang audio controls in Windows, Realtek, the recording utility, plus I think there are some others. (I ain't taking *all* the blame, dang it!) I ticked the 5 volume Controls on the same AD open menu page In the Recording Control menu it shows the following columns: Recording CD Volume Mic Volume Line Volume Stero Mix I checked them all, I muted all except the RECORDING and STERO MIX options. Done - finally!! Thanks for hanging in there. Misery *does* like company. :o) |
