Service Pack 2 and audio recording problems?

[dmotel]

I am unable to record streaming audio with my new computer.

Using High Criteria's Total Recorder on my other computers (that do not have Service Pack 2 or XP Pro) I am able to record just fine.

With my new computer I do not even have the choice of selecting "stereo mix", "CD Audio" etc. like my other systems.

Is there some known Service Pack 2 issue with audio cards?

Thanks!

I would check that you have the latest drivers for your sound card and the latest version of the programe. Win XP Sp2 was really a new OS it changed so much.

Hope this helps

The latest drivers will be avaiable at the manufacturers web site.

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case

Then go here to Dell to get your Audio driver

All instructions to install are on the site.
