Hi all,

My problem is this: I can record using the Windows Sound Recorder but I can't record anything with Cakewalk Home Studio. The program will not let me select my sound card as an input device at all. I've tried uninstalling other recording programs that could conflict with Home Studio, using the Wave Profiler, and re-installing the sound card driver, but none of these have solved the problem.

When I use the microphone, I can hear what I speak into it through the computer speakers, and like I said, I can record what I speak with Sound Recorder. So why can't I record using Home Studio?

Also, I get an error message every time I start Home Studio that says "The following driver(s) either do not support the current audio format, or are in use by another application. Please choose whether you want to disable them or use them anyway."

I've been choosing to use them anyway, but to no avail.

What do you guys think?

In the mean time, the specs for the computer are as follows:

HP Pavillion 7995, Win XP Home, 1.5 Ghz Pentium 4, Sound Blaster Live! card (we think; all it says under Device Manager is Intel 82801BA and they don't have any documentation for it)

And we're using Home Studio 2004.

Well, we're able to record now. What fixed it was going into Options-Audio-Advanced and changing the Driver Mode from "Use Default" to "MME (32-bit)."

The only problem now is that our recording level is low. We went into the Recording Properties and turned the mic up and turned our amp up too but the volume is still low. How can we fix that?

Thank you so much guys for your help! God bless you, thank you for your time and for being selfless in helping us! Praise God. Only took us four days of trips back and forth to my friend's house, taking the computer apart, reading through the Home Studio manuals, reading trouble-shooting guides on the web and company website info on the sound card, and six message boards to get it working... And that's not even all we did!

Talk to you guys later.
