Two part post here, the first part is for Soulfulsaint concerning the mp3's and lame codec thing. If you download that lame codec then open it and drag the .dll file into a folder on your desktop, then when you've recorded a track, go to FILE, then, EXPORT AS MP3 and it gives you a message saying that you have to install the lame codec thingy, it puts a box up so you can tell it where the .dll file is, so just direct it to the folder on your desktop where you dragged the file, and bobs yer uncle. It works, and it works really well, I'll put my first ever recording up so you (or anyone) can hear the quality though I have reduced it in size massively from the original.
RIGHT SO FAR SO GOOD, NOW THE BAD NEWS
I can play records into the computer but can't hear them unless I am recording. This isn't really a problem. Once recorded, they play back through audacity, sound great.
This is the problem: I have no sound from windows media player or any other players, I can't hear music from any cd I put in the drive. UNLESS. I remove the USB cable that connects the deck to the pc.
Can anyone tell me why this or what I can do about it?
cheers
