Hello, recording with line in from a turntable plugged into the sound card. It was working fine before I either reinstalled SF by accident or maybe clicked on something..

I've looked over settings but still no luck (and it was working fine before). Am I missing a setting somewhere??.

Hi! Which audio device type are you using? Can you tell us what the sample and bit rate of your interface is set to? If that isn't the same as what you've chosen for your project in SF, then you'll get this message.

@Dave-Rossi You wrote that it was working fine before. Maybe a clean reboot of your computer will help in this case.

You mean just restart it? I did that.

The line in. 16 bit 44100 CD quality. I didn't see that setting in SF.

To check it in SF, click File > New (or CNTRL+N) and it will open a new project window for you, and show you some options for bit and sample rate, as well as how many channels (mono, stereo, etc)...make sure this matches the 16 bit, 44,100 of your audio interface

I checked, and things matched. This is so frustrating :-(

Hi! Did you try choosing a different audio device type? When you click: Options > Preferences > Audio > Audio device type--test each of the drivers listed in that window and see if perhaps one of them works...I do find that the Windows Classic Wave Driver works well with most interfaces/devices. It's worth a shot (if you haven't already tried it, that is)

OK. Of the 4 choices listed, the last one did allow me to record. But when I do record it doesn't show any wave/sound action. So something else is missing.

What device is the "last one"?

Is the the audio being recorded, or are you just not seeing the waveform as it records?
I ask this because the waveform build can be disabled during recording. Which btw is in the "Options> Preferences> General" menu (SF Pro).

The las t device on the list was: Magix Low Latency 2016.

Wave form was checked on.

@Dave-Rossi, There is an issue with the Magix Low Latency 2016 device in Sound Forge Audio Studio that can cause noise and other issues. Other posts state, a registry entry needs to be removed, so look into this. Search this forum and read the posts on this issue.

btw. there are inherent risks with editing the registry, so if your not familiar with it., enlist someone who is,

FWIW, reports indicate the ASIO-4-ALL audio device driver is pretty solid, so maybe try that as well.

I think the results with ASIO-4-ALL would likely be the same, as the Magix Low Latency 2016 Driver is just ASIO-4-ALL rebranded, if I'm not mistaken...may still be worth trying, though just to see

I still don't understand how this all happened. Would un installing SF and reinstalling it fix things? The MIC on my web cam is not working either I recently found out.

In the Windows sound settings, is the mic and other device enabled, and do they work with other software?
If the devices do not work in other software, also check the Windows 'Privacy' settings. A Win 10 update disabled my PC's internal mic not long ago.
I do not know if reinstalling SF would fix the problem, I would try resetting SF an clearing the cache first.
 

Everything USED to work just fine.

How do I reset SF an clearing the cache first.

How do I reset SF and clearing the cache.

I am not exactly sure with Audio Studio. In SF Pro, the command is in the "File" menu. An alternate command is holding the Ctrl+Shift keys and launch SF. I would assume AS-14 to be the same.
 

yes, to reset the cache in Sound Forge Audio Studio is the same as in Sound Forge Pro...if your mic for your web cam isn't working, it could be that somehow your microphone in your windows settings is turned off...this would disable your inputs. there have been quite a few reports of this happening to users after certain windows updates. this is something you should also look into.

Well.... I got it to records again. But I don't hear anything when recording, just when I play back.

Assuming that SFAS is similar to SFP for recoding, there is a 'Monitor' (Off-On-Auto) setting in the "View> Record Options" menu. The record level meters and other settings are also in that window.

Thanks. I used to get sound thru the computer from the turntable before I reset things (outside of SF). Any idea how to get that back as well?
