  1. Audio playback


    Hi....


    The problem I have is that audio is not playing. The problem first occurred I noticed it on 3rd October 2020


    I have tried

    1. Test audio produces error "failed to play test tone"
    2. Troubleshooting reports "Audio services not responding"
    3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Realteck drivers
    4. I have restored to an earlier date before windows update on 3rd October
      1. This worked but windows auto updated my system on Oct 6th and the problem is back

    I have an Acre Aspire A317 - 51G running Win 10 Home 64 bit


    Any ideas?


    Cheers

    Gav

    Audio playback

    How can I record playback audio and mic?

    I've actually managed to my problem, just by Googling...after finally figuring out what to Google.


    Problem: Using Audicity, I wanted to record audio of myself singing karaoke. Sound inputs

    • YouTube video playing from Google Chrome
    • G933 Logitech Headset (or any USB mic for that matter)


    Two applications required for this. Download these two apps. When installing, make sure you Run As Administrator for each. Install each app, then reboot your PC.



    In Windows 10

    1. Go to Control Panel>Sounds>Playback and Set CABLE Input as your Default Playback device. Verify that you now have these three additional Playback Devices:

    • CABLE Output
    • VoiceMeeter Aux Output
    • VoiceMeeter Output

    1. Go to the Recording tab and Set CABLE Output as your Default Recording device. Verify that you now have these three additional Recording Devices:

    • CABLE Output
    • VoiceMeeter Aux Output
    • VoiceMeeter Output


    In Audacity (Preferences>Settings>Devices):

    • Host: MME
    • Playback Device: VoiceMeeter Input (VB-Audio Voi
    • Recording Device: VoiceMeeter Output (VB-Audio Vo
    • Channels: 2 (Stereo)


    Open Voice Meeter Banana (use the Search box next to the Start button) and change these settings:

    • HARDWARE INPUT 1: MME: CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual
    • HARDWARE INPUT 2: MME: Set it to your desired microphone. I used Microphone Logitech G933 Gaming). For this hardware input, select A1 to deselect it. Otherwise, you will hear your voice playing through your Speakers/Headset.
    • HARDWARE OUT: Click A1 and select MME: <your output device>. In my case, MME: Speakers (Logitech G933 Gaming)

    To test: Go to Youtube, find a video to play. Go to Audacity. Click Record, then go back to your YouTube video and click play. You should see the sound meter go up and down, in accordance to the track you're playing. Additionally if you speak, you will see your mic's meter rise and fall, as well. Stop the recording when finished. Note that to hear the newly recorded track's audio, you may have to change your Playback sound to your desired device. It i also important to note to reset your Playback device once exiting VoiceMeeter Banana, to your desired audio output device. This can be done by selecting the sound button on your System Tray.
