mix record on win7

Post by Deconstruction » Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:03 am

Good morning everyone.

I just bought a new laptop not a superb one but not bad neither. with i7 core processor loads of ram memory and a nice graphic card blabla

The problem is I can't record my vinyl mixes on this laptop, since i only can choose 2 diferent options on my microphone slot. With both of this options i have a terrible sound quality.

-Microphone sound
-Stereo Mix (hidden @ begining)

I usually on my "normal PC" with a win XP. I can record everything i want on the same slot microphone, just changing an option to the sound and multimedia options. It has many different options.

-Microphone sound
-Stereo Mix
-MIDI Synth
-Wave
-Sound input (the one that works properly)

I record with a program called Audacity. Simple and easy to use. I don't think the program is the problem.

I've tryed to install a Virtual S.O. with xp, but installs a wrong sound card driver as a default. And keep being on the same way. "quality meaning"
There are no registered drivers for my lap on XP. so no sound card driver on xp, for a paralel install.

What should I do? buy an external sound card?

Thanks.

edit: btw, i've been searching on google and youtube for this and didn't solved my problem :)

I have the same problem from when I rip audio from YouTube videos with Audacity. With my old XP desktop, it works just fine. I have a Toshiba laptop with Win7 and it ends out all clipping and distorted.

I fixed it by turning the gain down on the input.
