I want to record live in audacity.  I can open sound files and edit them.
but all I get is a hum when I try recording from the microphone or line in.  My sound seems to work fine.  Any sugestions?

It should work without having to do any major tweaking.  Make sure the appropriate input device (Pcm, Line, Mic...) is showing in that dropdown box next to the volume sliders.  Also, make sure the device is not muted or turned down in your audio mixer (e.g. wmix).

By the way, I just uploaded a shiny new version of Audacity a few minutes ago...it might show up in the mydsl testing repository sometime before the year's end =o)

The drop down box beside the volume sliders is blank.  Still can't record anything, yet my sound is working and no volumes are muted.

If the box is blank, and clicking it doesn't give you a list, my only guess is that audacity didn't detect any input devices.  I don't know what to say beyond that.

Is there any way to configure audacity outside of the program?  I've tried adjusting all the preferences 17 ways to Sunday, nothing.
