Can't remember if you still need to turn on a checkbox to display microphone
volume slider in normal volume control, but, if, in windows 7 start menu search
box, you type in something like change sound card, and look for the item,
change sound card settings, and hit enter on it, then ctrl + tab to listen
page, and select microphone in list of devices, and then from there you can
tell it to listen to device, bring up it's properties, make sure it's not
muted, and I have mine's volume level to set to 40 - seems to give me somewhat
better quality if record at a lower level, and then boost it using audacity.
Stay well

Subject: [audacity4blind] Setting up Audacity on new computer
I installed Audacity on a 64 bit HP desktop using Windows 7 and an AMD sound
card. Even though all the settings seem to be right, the recording device is
set to microphone which is plugged into the correct jack, I can't get it to
record or play back.
I never had any trouble on my XP machine. Do the record levels default to 0?
I never needed to adjust them in the past. Finally, I can't find a Stereo Mix
button anywhere. How can I record what plays through the speakers without it?
Thanks,
Cliff
