Troubleshoot
Play the captured file to check its quality. It's likely that you'll
need to capture more than once to get the best possible results.
The following tips can help correct specific problems including:
No Audio
- Make sure the playback device is plugged into the sound card
correctly.
- Make sure you have selected the correct input in the Volume
Control panel as described above in "Adjust Audio Level"
(usually will be Line-in, but could be Microphone).
Incorrect Audio Level
If the input level is too high, your file will have crackling
or buzzing noises, a phenomenon known as "clipping".
If too low, you run the risk of listeners having difficulty hearing
your content.
- You can adjust the audio input level through your Windows Volume
Control. Go to Start | Programs | Accessories | Multimedia | Volume
Control to bring up the control panel.
- On the Volume Control panel, select Options | Properties.
- In the Adjust Volume For section, select Recording (usually
Playback will be selected by default) and click OK.
- Make sure that Line-In is selected (checked) and use the slider
bar to raise or lower the level as needed. Depending on your sound
card, the amount you move the slider bar could have greatly differing
results.
