Hi Chris,

 

Plug in your mic and go through your control panel settings first then open audacity.  If you have audacity open first and then try to do the control panel stuff, it won't recognize it.  I've had the same problem with my logitech mic.  I've found that this usually works.  

 

Cheers!

I second...what Jess said. Usually it corrects itself if you plug in your mic first...let your computer recognize it, then open audacity.

Also...if that doesn't work...

here is a link to a tutorial on connecting Mics.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot.  I finally got it to work.  I just used the old advice.....when in doubt reboot and everything worked.

Thank you all.  I figured it out before I read these posts but again was not certain why it was working.  Each time I had problems I rebooted but did not make the connection.  I know very little about  computers so I usually just fiddle until I solve the problem.  The problem with that method is sometimes you solve the problem but don't really know how you did it.

 

I knew I could get help here.  Perhaps this will help someone else in the future.

 

Chris
