Windows 10: Windows 10 recent update affects my USB audio interface to record or play back on recording...

Hi everyone,

Why did the Windows 10 update do something to my USB microphone interface?

I can't record, or even playback once I start to record on music software, which is Reaper. I also tried this on Audacity and same issue.

This is the 2nd time that Windows update has really affected my recording Gigs.

I was recording and doing musical work perfectly before Windows 10 October 2018 Update affected my USB interface, again.

How can I resolve this as my recording software is okay, but Windows seem to have affected my audio or USB connection in some way.

I have also disabled antivirus temporarily and also ensured that I checked to see if the Reaper program is working correctly.

:)

Can't record from USB audio interface

I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and I’m trying to record using my USB audio interface. Problem is, since I upgraded it will not record from my USB interface, instead it records from my laptop’s internal microphone. I have been able to get the USB
interface to playback by setting it as my default speakers and changing the setting to “DVD quality” however that only works for playback and the recording still doesn’t work. When I open the “Sound” app it shows no green bars under record, yet continues to
show green bars for my internal mic. At my wit’s end here as I need this to work asap! Help would be appreciated.

 

Audio recording

For clarification, we would like to know if you are trying to record a voice recording directly to Windows Media. If yes, it is not possible to record vocal tracks directly into Windows Media Player, you can import the files into your library after they
have been recorded with a different audio software program. Windows Media Player enables you to record sounds from a microphone or other audio devices. Media Player also copies or burns pre-recorded music, photo and data files. See steps below:

• Open Windows Media Player on a PC with a drive that's capable of burning CDs.
• Click on the Burn tab at the top of the window.
• Click on Burn options.
• Select a format for the CD you want to burn:
  
  • Click on Audio CD to burn the disc as an audio CD that can be played in any CD player.
  • Click on Data CD to burn the disk in a data format that stores music files in MP3 format.
    
• Insert a blank CD into the drive.
• Select the audio you want to put on the CD. To do so, click on an item and drag it from the Player Library in the left pane of the window to the burn list in the right pane
  
• windows media player. The burning process will take several minutes. Once finished, your CD will eject automatically.
