Audio recording waveform (& sound) disappears

Must be some setting somewhere...
Same problem in Vegas 8 & 9(e). Under W7 pro.

Track armed, record clicked, starts recording OK, level and waveform show the expected audio response. I record a second or so's worth. But then, when I click record button once again to stop recording, the waveform disappears and no sound heard on playback. If I do multi-takes (loop) then all takes are empty. Wav files are truly silent when played in VLC also. Some kind of buffering thing?

Any fix for this or obvious mistake on my part?

I also have Win 7 64 bit and here 9.0e recording works perfectly (like they also did in all earlier versions).
I record a couple of times a week - both from an USB mike and also from other sources via the Win 7 "Stereo mix" feature.
Normally I do longer sound recordings, but have just tried to do some very short ones, 1 sec and smaller, like yours - and also that works well here.

I also do like you: Arm for recording in the track header - start recording under the timeline (or Ctrl+R) and stop recording down there as well... then Vegas asks for delete or rename and then I press done - that's all.

Press Stop to Stop, not the Record icon.

Are you using Kaspersky software? If so you may find the solution to your problem in this thread.

AHA yes, it was pesky Kapersky
Not so pesky though when it traps viruses (like on a colleague's memory stick recently)

Once I had disabled Kapersky, then restarted Vegas, the sound recording worked as expected. Didn't matter if I stopped via Stop button or by re-clicking Record button (on Transport).

Interestingly, when I re-started Kapersky, audio recording continued to work OK...

I have Kapersky 2009 at present but already purchased Kapersky 2010. Will give that a go also.

Many thanks Mark for that pointer, I'd never have guessed that. Spent a couple of hours experimenting without success beforehand.

I have Kaspersky 2010 - and never had problems with the sound recording.
