| 1428875 | 2016-11-17 23:41:00 | While using the scanner I started line in recording with Audacity but could hear no sound through the speakers. I used Trouleshooting and the result was - Generic Driver not fixed. In Device Manager Sound controllers it said the driver was up to date for Realtec Audio sound card.Where do I go from here? | Krad (7878) | ||
| 1428876 | 2016-11-18 01:17:00 | Are the correct preferences set in Audacity? In the toolbar for Devices. 7675 |

| 1428877 | 2016-11-18 02:01:00 | Yes all settings as before the problem. The Realtek driver is shown as up to date but still no sound. | Krad (7878) | ||
| 1428878 | 2016-11-18 08:06:00 | Getting audio into Audacity can be a black art. One of the things that foxed me was setting Audacity's input under Devices and expecting it to work straight away. But Audacity only read the settings at launch. (it might have changed since then) The screenshot shows my settings. I use a cable to route the headphone-out to line-in. My Windows playback devices is set to Realtek HD Audio 2nd output, and it must be set as the default The basic problem is Windows is designed to feed audio generated by browsers, media players, etc to speakers not to applications. Whereas it makes line-in/mic-in available to applications. These two engines are conceptually separate and that is why it is hard to get speaker-out into Audacity. In the past Windows had an internal loop-back called Stereo Mix. This took audio-out from the speaker and fed it into line-in (roughly speaking). This allowed one to record whatever the machine was playing. But Windows has changed its audio handling and I don't think this is available in Windows 10 Coupling the two engines together with a cable is recommended in the Audacity FAQ. In the early days an analogue link might have caused a quality problem because line-in is vulnerable to picking up hash from digital circuitry. But my latest MB seems quite good (Relying on Device Manager to get an up to date driver is not recommended and caused me a problem recently. It said my Intel Graphics was the latest but it was my old Windows 7 version! Not Windows 10) |

There is just no audio using Win Media Player etc and Troubleshooting doesn't resolve the problem. New Realtek drivers are installed - same problem. Any other suggestions welcome. |

| 1428880 | 2016-11-19 05:16:00 | No Idea if this will help, but had a problem with realtek several years ago, the solution was to disable the front jack. ( it still worked) 7682 Also check in the Control Panel / Sound Setting that the output playback is set to speakers and not some other setting. Its possible some audio output is either muted or changed, its a case of looking through all of them. |
