Recording with GoldWave
Howard Traxler
Hi All,
Before my Windows update, recording with GoldWave worked fine. Now, when I try to record, I get the error message: Cannot start recording. And it refers me to "Help". Help just opens the manual. Google tells me that the error pertains to in input device. The input (and output) device seems to be WASAPI. Is that a problem and how can I change it if necessary; and what should I change it to?
Thank you to anyone who can help.
Howard

Hi Howard!
In Goldwave, press F11, this should bring you in to System.
If it doesn't say System, tab until you here help then tab once more. Now you can press right Arrow until it say System.
If you tab once from System you should here Playback. Up and down until you get the sound card you use for playback. Then tab and you will here Record, again up and down Arrow until you here the sound card you need. Now tab to OK and press Enter.
I hope this helps.
Rob.

Thanks Robert, However, in the dialog selection you described, there are two possible sound devices. I don't remember the exact messages but they indicate that the devices are not available. It seems that I'll have to go into windows control panel, sound devices and make some settings. I get lost in there. I have to keep trying because I want to use this machine to make some recordings.

Be careful when you're messing around with audio settings. If you wind up turning off JAWS speech, you can probably use Be My Eyes or AIRA to get JAWS back on.
