Roxio 10 - Capture Device

[Steve Summerlin]

Hello,

 

For some reason I cannot find an audio capture device when I running Roxio 10 on Vista Ultimate SP1. When using the same PC with XP SP3, I can find an audio capture device without fail. What am I missing?

 

I am using a Realtek High Definition Audio card on Vista SP1 Ultimate. When in Sound Editor, it says that it cannot locate a source input. In the Vista gadget, it lists the card, but it gives a connection error. If I swap out the drive and use XP, all is fine. Why does it not work in Vista?

 

Thanks for any help or guidance you can offer.

 

-Steve.

Thanks you are a Digital Guru! I now can capture audio in Vista. It is a miracle. The "Another thing" did the trick.

 

Thanks again,

 

-Steve.

Another thing to try is go to the Control Panel,Sound and when the box comes up go to the Recording tab.Now right click on whatever device shows and make sure that Show Disabled Devices is checked.

After that go back on the recording tab and see if you see any new devices.If you do right click them and check Enable.

If you got new devices go back to Roxio's capture and see if you get new choices.

 

If you were to do a search on this site you'd find quite a few posts about that sound chip and Vista.

It is probable that the difference is the Realtek card.

When Microsoft created Vista they changed the way that sound works.Because of this many,many audio devices don't present the same inputs to Vista as they do to XP.

This has to do with the drivers and software architecture.

It's not a problem with Roxio.It's the way that Vista sees the Realtek card.

You may be able to fix it by updating to the latest Realtek drivers.

You're very welcome.Glad you got it working.

 

Why Vista disables a lot of devices that will work is a mystery to me but it does.Sometimes,as you found,the easiest fix is to just enable them.That is if you're lucky enough that they're there in the first place.

 

Happy burning.
