Hi good people ..

Since my son got his webb cam Audacity now uses the in built mic from the cam to record ..

How can I stop this from happening ?

It is very annoying and the quality of sound I am recording is tragic to say the least , Now I know I am pretty tragic to start with but I need all the help I can get and I don't need some cheap mic recording me swearing as practice ..

I have my own mixer board plugged in and this used to work well , but since the dreaded webb cam came I can not record anything with out it being recorded through the cam mic ..

Is there a simple way around this ?

Cheers

Trevor

ps ..

Yes the hand is still in plaster but I have been putting the capo on different frets to learn strum patterns ... :wink:

If you unplug it, does it go back to normal?

Hi Trevor,

You must select the input device in the preferences dialog (Audio I/O). Surely when the web cam was installed, its software changed the option.
