Sound Forge with Windows 7 Not Recording
I have Sound Forge 9 installed on my desktop computer and it works fine.
I realise there’s doubt over compatibility of Sound Forge 9 with Windows 7 but I’ve installed it on my new Windows 7 laptop (Acer 1410 64 bit) and it works as normal - except it won’t Record.
I can send a music file to it OK. Waveform displayed and I play with it, etc. However when I ask it to Record, all I see on the monitor is noise at around -60dB, just as if the recorder has an open-circuit input, which it probably has! It will record and playback this noise so it’s running but not connected to a sound source.
The source would usually be an internet source eg. streaming radio.
So to check things I’ve downloaded Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 (trial version) which is compatible with Windows 7 but I get the same results, -60dB noise only!
I’ve also tried Audacity 1.3 Beta, the same!
So somewhere I guess, I need to tick a box or change a setting to let audio through. I’ve tried all the various sound settings I know about in Sound Forge and via Control Panel.
Grateful for any idea?
Thanks
