I have Audacity and when I record my voice from the microphone it record it very low.

I have RealTeck Audio Drivers and the sound levels are all up even the microphone.

So I think that Audacity may have a Recording Level Slider in it someware but I don't know ware to look.

Can SOMEONE help thanksYou may need to enable a "microphone boost" setting in your software, depending on your sound software. Here's what I have, with my C-Media sound software:


Can you hear anything from your speakers when you talk into your mic? INCREASE the volume (amplify) in Audacity: Select the entire wave then Effect - Amplify. CHECK "ALLOW Clipping" then move the slider to the right to what is suitable.

Click "Preview" to hear/see if there is distortion. If there is, then lower the volume a little. Hopefully that might help...I have no Microphone Boost in my Realtek sound driver.

And if you want to record from say not the MIC but your Line In jack you have to select Line In on some recording programs but I can't find ware you select what you want Audacity to pickup sound from.I am recording from my Line In I got it to work and Audacity is recording ok.

But when I PLAY it back to see how it sound it plays realy LOUD.
So I lowered the Input Volum slider you know I moved it to the left to make the sound record lower and then I play it and it is not just loud it is somewhat distured.

What it sound like is if you talk realy close to a microphone or into the telaphone.

Now Audacity records the sound even if I set the Input Level to 2 persent the slider is allmost all the way the the far left and it still is Distorded.

Even if I lower it it is still loud can anyone help
