Recently purchased Audio Cleaning Lab - copyright shows it to be 2017 - it is not Sound Forge.

Lenova laptop, Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i5, 8GB Ram, 64 bit.Realtek HD Audio, sample rate 44100, playback buff 200ms Everything is up to date.

Recordings come out as either just hissing or very feint with hissing. Recording levels always shows "Level too low" but volume on high.

. . . . do not have key that says PrtScn . . . .

Not all computer keyboards have the print Screen key labelled as PrtScn in the case of your laptop it is PrtSc next to F12.

Did you try increasing the microphone boost level in the Sounds?

To enable the stereo mixer, open the Sounds dialog and turn on the 2 options shown below, right click a blank area of the dialog to get the pop-up.

You should then be able to enable the Stereo Mixer.

I don’t appear to have the options you have.

Look at the images I posted again - you are on the wrong tab.

Did you follow the instructions I gave above in the same comment on how to enable the Stereo Mixer?

Please use the screen capture option on you computer instead of posting mobile snapshots - ie the PrtSc option and crop the image in your favourite image editor for posting.

The options shown by you were not available on my screen. Sorry about the screen options but for some reason the Magix page on my laptop won’t permit me to put in my password so I have to do it via a photo on my iPhone.
