"Microphone privacy settings is one such feature - it’s a feature of the operating system that may affect users of Audacity, and that can be a problem for Audacity users that are not aware of this feature in their chosen operating system. It also covers some aspects of the Windows / macOS / Linux operating systems that are not part of Audacity but may affect Audacity users. The Audacity manual runs to several hundred pages and attempts to cover every feature that is in Audacity. The Audacity manual dedicates several pages to these issues, and several more on the Audacity wiki. You could write a book on just this one topic, or even three books one for Windows, one for macOS and one for Linux. There are many ways that problems with audio devices can happen. Thanks in advance if anyone out there can help this novice. So why can’t I get the Monitoring bar to show anything? I haven’t yet even tried to record, but I wanted to check the Monitoring level to make sure it looks OK before I start recording. Whether I left-click on the Monitor bar (“Click to start monitoring”) or turn on Monitoring by using the pull-down menu from the microphone icon (“Start monitoring”), nothing happens. In my Audio MIDI setup, it shows the Format as 48,000 Hz, so (following directions) in Audacity > Prefs > Quality, I set the Default Sample Rate to match that (48,000 Hz), and the Default Sample Format is 16-bit.īUT when I have a tape playing (and I can hear it through the earphones that are plugged into the capture device), when I click to start Monitoring in Audacity, there is no bar, green or otherwise, that shows up. I have followed all the directions in the Audacity guides “Recording with USB turntables or USB cassette decks” and “Mac and USB input devices.” In my Mac Settings > Sound, I have selected “USB PnP Audio Device,” and while I’m playing a cassette tape from the USB capture device, the Input level meter there does work it goes up to about three-quarters of the way up the meter. I recently bought a USB cassette capture device (MIUONO brand) from Amazon and am trying to digitize some of my old cassette tapes. This is my first time trying to use Audacity.
