Roxio Community
I have EMC9 and have recently added it to my new computer running Vista Home Premium. In Easy Audio capture, the boxes for INPUT and recording levels are unavailable (greyed out). It will record from internet radio but I cannot adjust recording levels. I want to record a cassette tape, but cannot acces the Input boxes. Is this the fault of the sound card in my new computer, is it Vista, or is it Roxio?
Can anyone help (in plain English!)?

How is your cassette player, connected to your computer? Is it a player or a deck?
Life is good!

It's a small cassette player which on my previous machine I connected through (I think) line-in.

It's probably a combination of Vista and your sound card.
Roxio only uses the choices that are given to it.The choices are decided by the sound card and the OS.
If you truly are connected to line in then you need to check on it.
Go to the Control Panel,Sound and look at the recording tab.
Do you see line in as a choice?If yes right click it and make sure it says enabled.
If not right click whatever device is there and then check Show Disabled Devices.Hit OK and then see if you see Line In.If you do make sure it's enabled.
If you see it in the Control Panel and it's enabled you should get it as a choice in Roxio.

I have checked on the "line in" in Vista. It says it's enabled and working but Roxio (and Audacity) do not see it. If I have to change my sound card (I have IDT High Definition, presuming that that's my sound card. I'm not very technical!) then I will do that but I would obviously need to change to one that does what I need.
My last computer, on which all of this worked without a problem, ran on XP with a SoundMax card.

If neither Roxio or Audacity see the input then I'd say it's a sound card issue.
I believe the IDT Hi Def is a chip and not a card.
As far as what card would work it's hard to say.
I'm partial to Creative's cards but I've seen posts where certain cards in the line work (my Audigy2) and others don't (Xi-Fi Music Extreme).

If the IDT is a chip, will installing a sound card on top of that cause problems? (Sorry..I know little of the technical side!)
Is Audigy 2 a separate product from Audigy SE? I don't see Audigy 2 listed on the Audigy site.

The Creative and Soundblaster websites do not show the "Soundblaster 2zs any more. They do show the Soundblaster Audigy 2, but that is not the same card as the 2zs. You can still find drivers for the 2zs and can find the PCMCIA notebook sound card for notebooks. The 2zs is had to find but there are a few websites that still advertise it (i.e.---

I notice that most of the people offering helpful suggestions to my question and similar ones seem to be running a separate sound card with both Vista and XP. I presume, therefore, that if I install a stand-alone sound card such as Audigy, it should not conflict with the sound chip on the motherboard.
My alternatives at the moment seem to be to either install the sound card or go back to XP. Would those of you who are experts in this field aggree, or offer other suggestions! Thank you.

You should turn off the onboard audio via your BIOS if you install a stand alone card. You WILL have conflicts if you don't. Once turned off and with the drivers installed, you should have no problems with any conflicts. Vista works with sound differently than XP so make sure the card you get has recent Vista drivers.
