Windows 7 Adobe Audition line-in Recording Problems

Hello Dan W, Transitioning from Windows XP to Windows 7 can involve some adjustments, especially in terms of audio settings. To enable the feature you are looking for in Windows 7 to record what is playing in the background, you may need to adjust the recording control settings. Here's how you can do it: 1. Access Sound Properties: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Recording devices." - Alternatively, you can access it from the Control Panel: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Recording tab. 2. Enable Stereo Mix or What U Hear: - If you can't see "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear," right-click in the white space of the Recording tab and ensure that both "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" are checked. - If "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" is visible, right-click on it and select "Enable." 3. Set Stereo Mix as Default Recording Device: - Right-click on "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" and select "Set as Default Device." 4. Adjust Levels: - Double-click on "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" to access its properties. Go to the "Levels" tab and adjust the volume settings as needed. 5. Testing: - Open Adobe Audition 1.5 and select "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" as the recording input. Following these steps should allow you to record audio that is playing in the background on Windows 7. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.
