Playback Recording Difficulties
Hi List. I'm trying to make a recording via my PC line-in source, but am failing miserably! Any helpful tips gratefully received. I've got my levels set at 80% and am using Goldwave to record, but I can barely hear the source and messing about with the levels doesn't appear to make any difference. Also, when I run a test on the line-in I'm told that its not receiving anything on the left channel, but yet when I listen carefully to the speakers I can hear something coming in on both channels. I really don't know what to try next, can anyone offer up a suggestion as to where I'm going so badly wrong? I'm using Goldwave 5.68 on a Win 7 machine. According to my settings its a line-in high definition audio device. Listen to this device is checked and playback is via my default playback device. And the default sample and bit depth are set at two channel, 24 bit 192000HZ. Finally, give exclusive mode applications priority is also checked, although I've got no idea what it means! Yes, a recording via PC virgin here, so please be gentle! I'm finding this whole ordeal rather challenging. Regards.

Re: Playback Recording Difficulties
Maybe try set those rate to 16bit to start off with. Is your motherboard and sound drivers updated? On 26/03/2013, Darran Ross darran.r...@dsl.pipex.com wrote: Hi List.

Re: Playback Recording Difficulties
Hi Aidan and list. I was just about to send this when Aidan's message arrived, so thanks for the suggestion but I'm pleased to say that the problem has been tracked down. And yes, it was indeed user error. I was checking my cables etc to make sure all was properly connected and fitted, when I discovered a switch on the skart lead I'm using to take the audio from my satellite dish to the PC. I flicked this switch and the sound appeared instantly! Rather loud and distorted, but changing levels and so on seems to have corrected that as well. So sorry for troubling the list before checking these things, but I didn't even realize there was a switch there in the first place, it was more good luck than good judgment that found it! Regards.
