797073	2009-08-01 05:03:00	For my next problem - I am trying (and apparently very trying for 'himself' - I expect him to know all the answers!) to record off a tape and convert to an mp3 file using Audacity. I had all the setting 'sorted' in Xp, but now trying to do this in Vista. I think the settings in Control Panel, Sounds might be the answer, but not sure. Has anyone else experience with this they might share? He and me too, would be grateful! :)	R.M. (561)
797074	2009-08-01 05:16:00	Is there a specific problem? e.g. no sound output to your pc from the line in/wave out mix (in sounds) connection? Or the software not capturing sound?	kahawai chaser (3545)
797075	2009-08-01 05:42:00	No sound at all - usually there is sound from my speakers while I am recording and signal on the screen in Audacity.	R.M. (561)
797076	2009-08-01 05:56:00	I think for Vista, sound output for recordings has to be enabled and it appears it is hidden. Maybe this procedure (www.ontola.com) may help...	kahawai chaser (3545)
797077	2009-08-01 06:14:00	I get a choice of Microphone (with a tick beside it) or FM Conexant High Definition Smart-Audio 221 (what is that???), and should that be what I use?	R.M. (561)
797078	2009-08-01 06:46:00	I think that's a driver, and it appears you are using a laptop, of many do not support/display wave out/stereo mix etc. Not sure if FM Conexant High Definition Smart-Audio 221 would work if you apply it for recording. Many have reported recording issues (rather lack of driver support) with laptops (as described in the earlier link I submitted). But their are work arounds - download a driver (find out your sound card/output model). This person used a LG driver (www.ekhoury.com) for his Sigmatel driver as a solution. This approach then presented the stereo mix, etc to be used for recording.	kahawai chaser (3545)
