May. 14 The Windows sections for the control panels vistacp and xpcp are linked to every day from Forum answers. Peter 4. May. 14 A fair point Gale but is it linked to for users of current Audacity or users of obsolete versionsThe Asus Eee PC is a netbook computer line from Asus, and a part of the Asus Eee product family.

In current Audacity, all available inputs are selected in Device Toolbar or Devices Preferences. Microsoft has made a generous gift to fans of the audio recording by implementing Stereo Mix feature in the system. Now we do not have the headache of searching. If its for current version users than this page could be moved to the manual the obsolete legacy users can be pointed to the parallel page in the Legacy Wiki that is what the Legacy Wiki is for, supporting obsolete users surely. The advice note below states is mainly for users who need to use legacy Audacity 1. I was inferring this page could be deprecated from the main Wiki, which is for the current version of Audacity. Steve 1. 2May. 14 I would suggest leaving this page as is for the legacy wiki, and severely trimming it down for the current wiki. My impression is that if we remove the information that no longer applies, then the Alerts for modern Windows can be moved into the normal text flow. The Windows Control Panel section is very heavily linked to on the forum, though could perhaps be updated to put more emphasis on using WASAPI for recording sounds playing on the computer and much less emphasis on Stereo Mix. Peter 1. 5May. 14 Of course it remains and will remain in Legacy Wiki that is what the Legacy Wiki is for users of legacyobsolete versions of Audacity. Motioninjoy Gamepad Tool Ps3 more. My point here is that this looks like an entirely legacy page and can thus be deleted from current Wiki. Or am I wrong and there are sections of this page that should remain for current Audacity users And Im not sure why were still talking about XP now that Microsoft have discontinued support. It is some thing that imo we should actively discourage as Gale does on the Forum. Effectively XP is now a legacyobsolete operating system so its presence in Legacy Wiki would be ok but in current Wiki should be deprecated if this page remains here. Gale 1. 8May. 14 I changed this to PS. As Steve says, the vistacp and xpcp anchors here are linked to every day to give support for current Audacity. My suggestion is that this page becomes a Windows only page called Windows System Mixer though if we want to move the page, the xpcp and vistacp anchors will need redirecting in the. I will need to go though the page above the Windows Control Panel sections and see what if anything to retain so please dont just delete that content. The xpcp anchor is mandatory while Audacity officially supports XP. My Forum dissuasions about it are only about security, nothing else. The Mac section is outdated and could be moved to Mac OS X or whatever becomes of that. Ive rewritten the Linux section to be relevant to current Audacity, but Steve can check it over.

Mixer Toolbar issues and input device selection In current Audacity, all available inputs are selected in Device Toolbar or Devices Preferences. However one of the common problems encountered with the Mixer Toolbar in legacy Audacity 1. The purpose of the selector as with Device Toolbar was to link to the current mixing device assuming this device offers a choice of input sources and thus save the user going through a series of system menus to choose the source. Recording Device It is often assumed that Audacity controls the input sources displayed, but in fact the sources offered are governed by the drivers of the sound device that is currently selected in the Audacity Preferences. Drivers are a big issue on Windows machines, and it often happens that machines purchased new will only be supplied with generic Microsoft drivers. QiS3RBjtNfY/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Realtek Stereo Mix Windows 7' title='Realtek Stereo Mix Windows 7' />Realtek Stereo Mix Windows 7This may prevent the audio device linking properly to the system mixer, so you may end up always recording from line in, or cannot apparently record at all whatever input source you choose. Another issue may be that you wont see all the inputs that your device potentially offers. So the first step towards rectifying input problems is to open the and choose in legacy Audacity 1. Find out what inputs are available and ensure that the playback and recording devices are explicitly set to the correct device you want to use. For example you may have multiple sound devices such as built in sound and an external USB device, so you need to choose between them. If you are on Windows and experiencing problems, choose your sound device explicitly, not Microsoft Sound Mapper which is intended to map to the currently selected default Windows sound device, but may not always do so correctly. Device selection for inbuilt devices on Windows Note that some sound devices have individual analog to digital converters ADCs for the different inputs such as microphone and line in. Where this is the case, these inputs are treated as separate recording devices on Windows for example, Line In Realtek or Microphone Sound. Max. These inputs can be most conveniently selected in Device Toolbar in current Audacity but in legacy Audacity before 1. Audio IO or Devices tab of Preferences and not in the Mixer Toolbar selector which will be greyed out. Windows Vista and later always treat recording sources as separate devices, so on these systems the Mixer Toolbar selector in legacy Audacity will be greyed out and inputs must be chosen in the Audio IO or Devices Preferences. USB and Firewire recording devices Note that if your selected recording device is a USB or Firewire device, these normally do not have multiple input sources to choose from, so Device Toolbar or Preferences will only list the device as a single choice and the input selector in legacy Audacity will grey out. This is normal, and just means that input choices must be made in the device itself, or in any control software that comes with it. Examples of devices which will normally not allow input selection in Audacity are the Griffin i. Mic, USB turntables or USB cassette decks and a wide variety of USB and Firewire mixers and interfaces. Multi channel recording devices do allow limited input channel selection in Audacity where the drivers support this, though only a few devices on Windows allow recording more than a pair of two channels at once unless you compile Audacity with ASIO support. Device already in use. Also check your sound device is not already in use. If you are on Mac or Linux and the sound device is already being used by another application, Audacity may not be able to access it for recording. As a result, Device Toolbar, Preferences or the legacy Mixer Toolbar input selector may be empty of devices. Generally, this is not a problem on Windows as long as you choose MME host in Audacity, though issues with some applications are known. For example, speech recognition in Word, Skype or the Fraps screen capture software may prevent other applications from using the sound device to record from a microphone. Further help.
