Hi Don
It is easy to set Audacity to record from your line in once you know
how. Having opened Audacity, press ctrl-shift-f6. Then shift-tab
several times until you reach recording device. Arrowing up and down
will will take you through available devices. If you select line in
rather than sound mapper or similar you should be able to use either
Windows Direct Sound or Windows WASAPI.
Having done all that, press ctrl-f6 to get back to your track view.
Note that line in will not show up unless you have something plugged
into it.

Hi Robert
I have to go back to MME because in Wasapi audacity won't record what's on my
cassettes.
MME is the setting that allows me to do that.
I don't love the work around but it's the only thing that works.
I don't know how to do what you said about changing from something to "line in."

Hi Don
Why do you have to go back to MME?
Just change the input device from xxx loopback to a normal line in or mic.
Should you encounter a device error, check your sound card settings.
Start->(search box)->sound->(control Panel).
Check that recording and playback devices use the same sample rate as your
intended Audacity project rate. Wasapi works best with 44100 Hz and 16 or 24
bit resolution.
Wasapi is by the way the only host that supports 24 bit input. The resolution
in Audacity should always stay at 32 bit, no matter what's the sound card's
setting.

Hi guysThe audacity4blind web site is at
I wrote in yesterday about my recording problems.
Here's what has to happen:
With my new computer which does_ definitely have Windows 7 and Jaws 18
and the latest Audacity, I have to switch from MME to Wasapi if I want
to record off the computer. So far nothing else will work. I then
have to go back to MME if I want to convert a tape from MP3, a
project I've made top priority over the past 4 years as I want to junk
all my cassettes. Said project is almost done so I can keep it on
Wasapi permanently once the project is history.
I'm glad about the advice I got. You guys are aces in my book, and
you know who you are. I'd write and thank you privately if I knew how.
