Voice not recording

IYC wrote on 4/6/2006, 8:16 AM

I have been a user of both VF then MS, for several years.

I have recently upgraded to MS Platinum. Now I can't get the "Voice" to record.

Any helpful suggestions?

Thanks

Is your mic turned on in your Audio Preferences/mixer? Double click your speaker icon in your system tray.
Also, in your audio prefs, which mic input are you using?
Sound card set up for recording? Microphone cable? Mic switch on?
What are your VMS audio prefs set to?

When I test the recorder and playback in Microsoft's Sound Recorder, everything works fine, so the settings would appear to be correct.

I can't find any settings in MS to change. Am I missing something there?

I can see by the movement on the "voice meter bar" that the software is recognizing my voice, but there is no "progress" on the timeline that is actually recording the audio.

If I remember right, there is a record botton below the timeline window (where the play, stop, fastforward buttons are) that you need to hit. The button on the left of the audio track is the "armed" for record button that lets you see the levels. Hope that helps.

Go to Options/Preferences/audio Device, and set it to the Mapper, and if that doesn't work, you might try the Classic driver, but the MSMapper usually is what you want.
