I haven't been able to get it to record at anything like a normal volume. Depending on settings, I either get nothing on playback, or a very quiet recording (like 2% of the volume it was playing at while recording). The VU-meter bars stay empty while recording.
I haven't got the knowledge or time to play with this any more so am asking for some help.
Between i-Sound, Windows and the media app there's a few settings that can be changed that maybe affect recording volume but I don't know how to work them:
Windows Mixer:
- Overall volume (Speakers/Headphones)
Audio player volume (e.g. Web browser)
- Volume Level slider on right of main window
Playback Device (Speakers / Headphones)
Recording Device (only IDT High Definition Audio CODEC)
Recording Source :-- Communications Headphones ("This input doesn't have volume control")
Speakers / Headphones ("This input doesn't have volume control")
Rec. Playback
Microphone Array
Jack Mic
Dock Mic
- Dock Mic
Jack Mic
Microphone Array
Rec Playback (Properties / Levels is 100%)
- Communications Headphones ("This input doesn't have volume control")
I bought i-Sound as it promised to record without Stereo Mix, but if it doesn't work I'll have to ask for my money back.
