dMC auxillary input

Re: dMC auxillary input

When you select "Recording" you should get a list of options to put check-marks in and then you pick one to enable it.

.....then you pick one to enable it.

Here I am confusing. Placing check mark in the pull down menu make it active, isn't it? or Is there any other option to enable it again in the volume control pane? I don't see anything other than a check box for Mute.

What kind of soundcard do you have?

I am using a sound card called, SoundBlaster AWE64. The lists under the recording are MIDI, CD Audio, Line-In, Microphone, and PC Speaker. Out of this "Line-In" should be the input source in this case. isn't it?

No, selecting it in the pull-down menu just enables it. You have to check the box underneath it to make it active, and you can only do that one at a time.

And if your playing sounds on your computer that you want to record, not from an external source, it won't be "Line-In".

Satyrias, after you've done what I say in order to enable using all the recording input sources that yuur sound card supports, then just go back to dMC Auxiliary Input and go through all the steps as documented. At that point you should be able to select the proper input source from the panel presented.

" You have to check the box underneath it to make it active, and you can only do that one at a time. "

This part I couldn't follow. There are only check boxes for Mute in the gray Recording control screen.

Do this websit allow me to upload a screen shot? I don't have any other website to link it.

Re: dMC auxillary input

Ok, I uploaded the screenshot for you.
Very strange. I'll have to research this soundcard a bit.

Can you do one little test?

Start > Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder

Does that go anywhere? You may have to look for that program in other program groups if it's not there.

Explore the various options in that program and see waht you can glimpse.

Re: dMC auxillary input

If you open the Recording Control window (as you have displayed on your thumbnail), and click on Options, do any other options appear?

Re: dMC auxillary input

No, this doesn't seemt to be the case. It is a card from the mid to late 90's, mostly geared to midi input from what I read.

I think this is a candidate for the rigging of the jacks.

You maybe able to connect the line-out or speaker-out to the line-in when you are playing sounds off the pc itself and work that way.

Then dMC Auxiliary Input will have to use Line-in as input source.

"Does that go anywhere?"

Yes, I can record sound using that windows recorder.

"do any other options appear?"

Under that Option, there are Properties, and Advanced Controls. But Advanced control is grayed out. That "properties" is the one of the shot in the image.

Re: dMC auxillary input

I wonder what was used as input for recording.

Might there be updated drievrs for this sound card?

Have a look at this: http://www.actualsolution.com/power_mixer/ , it may help.

Re: dMC auxillary input

Yes, this system is from 1999. I don't have any latest system to test it.

I guess, I have to buy a latest sound card to solve this problem.


I am able to record my voice using a headset. Yeah, whatever the driver provided by the XP pro, but I haven't installed any new since they don't have any in their web site for this model anymore.

Re: dMC auxillary input

Well, microphone is already in the list of input controls. I'd have hoped for something else.

Try speaker out, or if not, a connector from line-out to line-in.

But I think you're due for a new soundcard anyway unfortunately, not just for this application.

Re: dMC auxillary input

Can you describe your Voice Over Internet setup?
In particular, does your setup allow you to listen to your incoming phone calls on your computer, only on your phone or both? Do you need to use a special (SIP) phone or does your setup work with any phone?

Best wishes,
Bill

Re: dMC auxillary input

Neil that is not an image that this user has because the soundcard does not have that capability. We have alerady covered this ground.
