recently purchased compaq cq 5810 and tried reload my magix 16. when i open the record section, both AUDIO INPUT and SOUND CARD are both empty.
using windows 7 pro, each i reinstall this happens, don't version number.
Hi
This could be a problem with the sound card settings - I would guess you have a Realtek HDA audio.
You need to make sure that the default devices for playback and recording are set correctly - see Control Panel, Sound, Playback (and Recording) tabs.
Right click anywhere in the middle box and select Show Disabled Devices - on the recording tab you should see the Stereo mixer - enable this device.
Also check the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the control panel to check everything is working.
If it is not a Realtek HDA then come back with the make and model of the onboard sound device.
