Desperately need some simple help.

ok, I posted this in GH, but no one seems to be responding, so I thought I'd try my luck here. I really need to solve this problem as fast as possible, since I need to make a video presentatoin for tomorrow, but cant record the narration!!!



Hi, I need to record some stuff, but for some reason, sound recorder and other sound recording apps, record the line in and not the mic. I got win2k and SBLive value.


I remember that the mic worked at one point with sound recorder, but now it doesnt. The actual mic is ok, since when its plugged in, I can hear it on the speakers (unless I've muted it), but sound recorder records only the line in (currently connected to a VCR)

thanks for your help



also, I tried connecting the mic to the line in, but that didnt work either...

Open the mixer (double-click the speaker in the systray)
Options -> Properties
Click teh "Recording" radio button.
Click OK
Make sure the checkbox under Microphone is checked. Set the level as desired.

What Jzero said

Just make sure that the "mute" is off of the microphone.
