Computer problems

I didn't know about Sound Recorder. Jazaakallah khayr for that. I was using downloaded ones.

Even with this one, I get the message "an audio recording device cannot be found."

It's not a problem with my settings as such, but a problem that affected either the soundcards or soundcard drivers of the earlier Vista 64 bit systems.

And I need help in how to solve it/get round it. I tried installing SP2 which was supposed to help locate drivers/updates, but hasn't. There are other things on the net, people talking about the same problem on different makes of computer, but they are very technical and I don't understand what's being said.

Jazaakallah khayr.

^ try sound recorder and see if it works. hopefully that helps

I don't think any sound recorder can work til the sound card/driver issue is fixed, and I need help with that.

Jazaakallah khayr.

Sound recorder, which comes pre installed with Windows, which gives the error message above.
Free Hi-Q recorder, which worked fine on my old pc. They've now put a message on the website saying it won't work with Vista 64-bit and apparently they've developed a paying version that is supposed to work with Vista 64-bit.
Free Audio Recorder, which gives advice on things to try if you have Vista 64 bit, which I've tried and don't work.
Wavepad sound editor, which also doesn't work.

I've tried every combination of settings for recording device and output device, but until I know how to solve this problem of the soundcard/driver not being recognised, I'm pretty sure nothing will work.

I have no problem with playing any kind of sound, either on a media player, or youtube or live streaming.

It is the recognition by any kind of recording software that seems to be the problem, or either the souncards/drivers themselves.

Jazaakallah khayr.

1) What is the model number of your Advent PC?

2)

What do you have under "Other devices"?

3) In control panel what do you have listed under "Sound" and the "Recording" tab?

I can't see an "Other devices" option anywhere, either in control panel itself or on the device manager.

The Stereo Mix is enabled rather than disabled, and I have selected show all disabled and disconnected devices.

Or did you mean that third sound tab, which is sounds applied to events in windows and programmes, such as beeps and the like?

Things to try (I like to number things ):

1) Double click the microphone option under the "Recording" tab from the screenshots you posted (or right click and "set as default"). If recording still doesn't work change it back.

2) Try this app: http://camstudio.org/ (I assume you want to record internal sound (ie sound from your pc) as opposed to external (ie you talking)).

3) These are the latest drivers for your soundcard so update if needbe - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...G45ID&lang=eng

Jazaakallah khayr for your help.

I did number one, set the microphone as the recording device, and tried Sound recorder and Hi-Q recorder - they didn't record anything. Sound recorder has a help button, which I clicked and was reading, and it had hints on using it, and then a troubleshooting guide if you couldn't record, and that gave the option to run an audio recording troubleshooter, which I did. It said it found a few problems but I couldn't tell if it had fixed them. I thought I'd set things back to the sound card and try again, and noticed that it the troubleshoot had set it back to the sound card already. So tried sound recorder and to my amazement, subhaanallah, alhamdulillah it worked, so I tried Hi-Q recorder, that I haven't been able to use for over 3 years, and that worked, tried audio recorder, and that worked as well, alhamdulillah. And so did Wavepad. This is nothing short of a miracle for me, but one brought about by finding out about Sound recorder in the first place, as per Br IbnAbdulHakim, and following number one that you'd suggested. Jazaakkumallah khayran katheera in this world and the hereafter, without limit, ameen thumma ameen.

Does anyone have the problem of Adobe flash player crashing/freezing on Firefox?

I do all the updates regularly, and a few days ago got a Firefox page the other day showing all the plug-ins/add-ons that needed updating, and I updated flash player from there as well, but apart from the first few hours, the problem still persists. Whenever I go to a page that has an embedded video, Firefox freezes while it loads, for quite some time, and eventually only after some time can I scroll through the page or watch the video, but very often, it freezes for up to five minutes at a time, and where the video was embedded, it is greyed out, and it says Adobe flash player has crashed.

The Imams of the Haramain thread is a nightmare to visit because of this, even though I like to read it, and I know I'll be stuck there for ages.

Anyone have any ideas?
