 |
|
Hi,
The Line-In Balance in the Audio Properties has frozen! (W98SE).
I cannot record Line-In stereo anymore; both channels recieve the same signal, even if I alter the sound input balance from left to right, both recording bars of my recording software remain the same.
I have tried recording via W98 sound recorder and Creative's software, and they so the same, so this is obviously a Windows issue (surprise! surprise!).
I have no problems playing anything else back in stereo; all sliders work there, but not in the recording options.
Many thanks... |

| You say "anymore" so can we assume that it was something that at one point in time you were able to do and now it doesn't work? |

Although I am a Mac user, I will say that MS's first signs of showing an adaptable and half reliable operating system came after Windows 98..

That's a good line but in no way promotes resolution to this problem: )
I wonder if the line in is nothing more then a good card gone bad. Only way one could know for certain is to remove the card and replace with a new sound card.
Windows98se is a very reliable platform but being on an older box can be the issue due to the components burning out. Therefore it would be the first thing I would consider, is the soundcard bad. You can have line in and not have line out.
If my hands were on it I would replace the soundcard. |

| Shove a friends sound card in there.. see if it encounters the same probs. If not, like Brien says, maybe time for a new one. Sure its not a definite way to find out if it is actually a hardware prob but it will help you cut it down. Or try your soundcard in someone elses comp. |
