I installed Absolute Sound Recorder and I thought it was recording fine, but i was wrong. So I tried Sound Forge as well. It failed as well. I have an ASUS P5N-D mobo, and was using the drivers from M$ with Win 7 x64. I suspected this might be a problem so I grabbed the Realtek drivers off ASUS website, installed, rebooted. Fired up Absolute Sound Recorder again, and Sound Forge as well. Neither seem to pick up an audio signal. My recording Controls for Absolute Sound Recorder are either Microphone or Microsoft Sound Mapper. I have it set to Sound Mapper as Im not using a Mic. Any ideas on how to get this working?
I have that chip set and I had that exact problem. I got mine to work by buying a sound card. It is a hard ware thing. I waisted money with device updaters etc. Nothing works if it is a hardware problem.
You could try swapping your MOBO cards around. Even though that sounds crazy. I didn't get my problem until I added a card. Moving the cards around I got different problems (other functions failing). The new card was cheap and easy. You problem is actually fairl;y common. It is just most users don't use the line in.
Im lost. Are you saying move my pci cards around? Problem is my mobo, cant hold my video card , 4890, in any other slot because of the horrible design of this mobo as its blocked by sata ports. As for using line in, im trying to record a live stream, so i dont want to use a mic and im not using an external device i could put in line in.
Nothing showing in Recording tab?..Does sound like a driver issue.. What does Device manager show under Sound controller? Again, I'm not sure about Win7, but just for the heck of it, try Audacity..
Sound controllers are listed as Realtek High Definition Audio and ATI High Definition Audio Device(I have a 4890 video card with a built in HDMI card. I wonder if I route the audio through the video card if it will work.
You should have CD Audio and Stereo Mix in recording tab..I'd check the win7 forums for compatible drivers for the Realtek audio..
