CRAZY Audio problem; Difficult! Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 5:27 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by minerva0X8 (1 messages posted) I have a laptop that's audio is dropping just seconds into recording. Now I say the audio drops, here is what is happening: Seconds into recording, the monitored audio drops in tone, begins to distort and the visible recording wave flat-lines; shows "no audio" even though you can still hear the distorted sound through monitors, laptop speakers & headphones. Now as far as input, he has tried CD players, mini-microphone, mixer input even the laptop's built in web-cam mic; exact same result. Also, the audio software he is using is something a a local University provided and have also tried Audacity. Each and any program gets the same outcome. Other than reinstall/update drivers for Audio and Chipset and checking the system's Gain Stages; I am at a loss... Nothing is reported in the device manager; clean as a whistle! Event viewer is clean as well..... Any recommendations? P.S. Playing any audio on the laptop itself works just fine.
