Cant change the default recording device

[TheBeepis]

I'm trying to change my default microphone but when i set it nothing happens. I cant disable any of the devices either. I deleted my driver and then i could change it but i couldn't reinstall it so i restored to a earlier time.I went on the troubleshooter and applied the fix that makes it default and it says audio device isnt set as default-not fixed. My sound driver is the Realtek HD audio.

What is the specific Dell model? e.g. Inspiron 5010, or whatever.

Are you using the Dell supplied sound driver? If not, get the Dell driver.

What do you have listed in the Device Manager, Sound section? Post a screenshot. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

What is the "screaming bee audio"??

 

[TheBeepis]

its a voice changing thing. you can play music and stuff over it im trying to make that the default microphone

 

[fireberd]

I looked at their site but there is nothing about making it the default recording device. They only talk about the configuration panel for this program and configuring for use with various programs and games.

It used to work its on the devices and ive made it default before.im using morphvox

Try and uninstall/reinstall. Go to the Device Manager, RIGHT click on the entry for the device and then LEFT click "Uninstall". DO NOT uninstall the driver. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will detect and reinstall it. This fixes a lot of flakey problems.

i did that and it installed but i dont have any sound now.it says no audio output device is installed

Sounds like that took over your sound. Did you only uninstall the Screaming Bee Audio? That should not have wiped out your RealTek.

Check the Sound Panel/Playback section. Your "Speakers" (RealTek) should be set as the default playback device.

i uninstalled the realtek. but now screaming bee is default

 

[fireberd]

Reinstall RealTek.

 

[TheBeepis]

how do i reinstall it? ive downloaded it before and nothing happens

 

[fireberd]

If you downloaded it, did you actually install it? Doubleclick on the icon for the download file and it should install. If there is already a RealTek version installed it will uninstall that, make you reboot, and then the new version will install.

 

[TheBeepis]

i install it and nothing happens

 

[fireberd]

Maybe the Screaming Bee is causing all the problems?

 

[TheBeepis]

tell me the exact steps i do after i uninstall realtek to reinstall it
