Aux Input recording level

[Bajanboi]

I haven't used the aux input in awhile but somethings not right. I have my turntable hooked up to my receiver and the record output going into line in on my soundcard. When I try to adjust the recording level the red indicators go up and down but not the actual sound of the music. It just stays blaring. How is the music bypassing the recording level?

Check the Volume controls for recording from the task bar.

I usually have both the Master Volume control and the Recording Mixer opened at the same time whenever using Aux Input. You can get rid of the blaring by turning the Master down.

I did that. That's the weird part. When I adjust the recording level I still get and input signal coming through even when the recording level is all the way down. What's going on?

Let's see what you might have.

You plugged in you external device into line-in on your sound card.

You opened Volume controls and set select Recording and have enabled line-in and nothing else (you can't anyway, only one selection should be active at any time). Line-in slider 2/3 of they up to cut back distortion.

You also select Playback and mute microphone, but allow all other controls.

Keep line-in slider up, adjust master volume to where you want it. What if you mute this one too?

Does this look like what you have?

Yes it's like that. The only way I seem to be able to stop the input signal but not adjust the level from coming in is I go into advance settings in the Master volume and check off rear speakers connected to line in. There are no rear speakers though.

Oh, then you must have a bit of a configuration problem. Does your sound card have it's own control program? You could try to go and configure properly your speaker setup there.

I've used this program in the past without any problems has it been updated. I've recorded several hundred records with this without any problems no all of a sudden this. I installed and reinstalled on different pc but the same problem. Once I download this is there anything else I'm missing?

Try recording with Windows sound recorder, changing the volume should change in that.

Re: Aux Input recording level

I plugged my turntable into my mixer, rec-out from mixer to line-in on pc. Everything works fine. Why do I get the loud distorted signal when I use my receiver rec-out to the line-in. Thanks everyone for your help.

Is the volume sldier for line-in in Volume Controls > Options >recording at 2/3 of the way up? Any higher you'll get distortion.

Re: Aux Input recording level

Re: Aux Input recording level

it's only 2/3 up.

How about on your mixer? is it full blast? Try to lower it some.

Re: Aux Input recording level

Everything works fine when I use the mixer I just have the problem when I run and input source from the receiver to the computer. Is it because there's no volume control for the turntable? Even still I should be able to control it with the rec-level.
