Build Your Own Gaming Notebook
Problems recording sound with computer?
I am having problems recording sound with my computer. I have tried using Sony Acid Pro, Sound Recorder, and recording videos with my webcam. I have tried recording on several different occasions over the past few weeks. I have tried both the built-in microphone and I tried plugging in my own microphone into the 1/8" audio input. In all of these instances, whenever I play it back the sound wavers in and out. I have an HP G60-120US notebook with Windows Vista 32-bit OS, 3GB RAM, and an AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70 2GHz processor. The microphone/sound card is Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 and my computer says that it is working. I just bought this computer a couple months ago and it works perfectly for all of the other heavy duty work I do (video editing, gaming, internet, etc.). So I am hoping that this issue is fixable. Thanks for your help!

- Your problem might be that your stuff just isn't compatible, and that often is because of software. You might want to update your sound card and your hard drive, also make certain you installed your microphone correctly if it has a CD. Also be aware if your microphone post dates your computer, which you would know better than I, it just may be impossible. Also power might be a problem. Often computers have thousands of tasks and the attempt to run a show like this may be too much for it, and also because the computer was not made for this type of interfacing more than likely. You see, computers don't generally like this kind of stuff because of their make, so may be the computer's fault. If you have a wicked laptop that is supposed to be da bomb for all of this stuff you're doing then I suggest calling technical support and ask there: either the computer maker or the microphone maker.
- You might want to ( if you haven't already) right click on the speaker in the toolbar, and make sure that all sources are un muted.
