kingy 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2010 I used the windows sound recorder to record voice on Microphone and it recorded and played back fine. I used the recorder in Roxio and it recorded and created file but when I play back there is no sound? Help Thanks Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tbrewst 18 Report post Posted August 9, 2010 If it worked in Sound recorder then you should be ok in Control Panel. So the question is what part of Roxio did you use? Did you make sure to choose the microphone as the input? If you don't,mute it,don't have it plugged in or whatever the app will still make a file.It will just be blank.

Some people have trouble with some high end USB Microphones but the old style plugged into your audio card seem to be OK. Can you get the properties of the audio file?

I have tried in both sound editor and easy audio capture but to no avail I can see it recording (Levels) and files save fine but on playback (Nothing) strange I know and if I cannot resolve then I can just use windows sound recorder but curious as to problem?? Thanks again What microphone? Some people have trouble with some high end USB Microphones but the old style plugged into your audio card seem to be OK. Can you get the properties of the audio file? I have the old style plugged in to front of Machine (Microphone slot) Properties, yes I can see them and the file size for example states 2.73 MB Sure its recording but just cant hear on playback Tried again with Windows Own Sound recorder and all works fine?

0 kingy 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2010 Check that you have the correct audio input selected in the app Yes, all thats fine and have double checked settings I tried the Audacity software as well and that also plays back fine so god knows whats up with the Roxio Recorder? Totally confused Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally confused Cheers What audio card do you have? Roxio audio applications have problems with 24 bit audio; it likes 16 bit. That is what I meant by properties of the file. Right click on it and select properties. Use the tabs and you might get that information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After Recoding in Sound Editor, do you see a wave envelope in the window? You don't hear playback in Sound Editor? Open Sound Editor Click on Menu TOOLS / Options Click the 'Select Playback Device' Button In the drop down, choose 'Default Sound device' first. If that doesn't work, choose 'Speakers'.

Open Sound Editor Click on Menu TOOLS / Options Click the 'Select Playback Device' Button In the drop down, choose 'Default Sound device' first. If that doesn't work, choose 'Speakers'. Thanks for Information I tried as you suggested, the PC only has 2 options (Default) and the sound card SOUNDMAX HD, Tried both options but no success At a loss here so at the worst I can use Audacity or Windows sound recorder for the Microphone Can see what else there is to possibly try?

Open Sound Editor Click on Menu TOOLS / Options Click the 'Select Playback Device' Button In the drop down, choose 'Default Sound device' first. If that doesn't work, choose 'Speakers'. Missed something, you mentioned about wave editor. Yes, that is there and NO, it plays in sound editor but with NO sound in that either Cheers Steve After Recoding in Sound Editor, do you see a wave envelope in the window?

If that doesn't work, choose 'Speakers'. Hi, I semed to have had some success but dont understand how? I went ot the TOOLS-EFFECTS-STEREO ENHANCER and increased it to say 100% and now I can hear the sound in sound editor but it seems I have to do this everytime I make a recording? Is this right?

0 gi7omy 2 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) It sounds as if the problem is in the audio gain - either in the input levels (which I presume you have set to max) or the mic itself just doesn't have a high enough output. The other possibility is you have it plugged into Line In (which has lower gain than the Mic socket) Edited August 10, 2010 by gi7omy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 sknis 220 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Yes, if that is an unpowered microphone or the batteries are bad, there is not enough power to record properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
