To all of you Total Recorder aficionados out there, a puzzle for you
Well, I guess I should really say that puzzle is mine. Hopefully somebody can help me restore harmony between me and TR. Just a little bit of background. I had a nearly fatal accident with my computer at the end of March of the previous year. No need to go in to all that, except to say that it became necessary to rebuild my computer from the ground up, software wise. Yesterday, after all that time, I needed to schedule and record a radio program from my stereo receiver, using the linein to my soundcard. That part went fine, but the problem is what follows. The problem is simply this. I can no longer get TR to mute the sound coming into the linein when recording. This used to allow me to record from my receiver, allowing me to do any other work without interference from what I am recording from the external source. I have scoured every dialog box for any remedy, and just can't find one. I remember there being a monitoring option that one could check or uncheck in a previous version, and when unchecking that box, that, at least as far as I can remember, allowed me to record linein in the background, but now I can't seem to find anything remotely relating to monitoring, unless it is preview monitoring, and that doesn't seem to help. Please, please, don't get this issue confused with hearing speech through my soundcard going to my linein recording. I have that covered, no problemo. If I can further clarify the issue, please let me know. I guess I can always find something to do other than use my computer during these times, but would like to once again have the option of computing in silence.

You don't have to accomplish this through Total Recorder. Just open Windows Volume Control, and assuming you're running Windows XP, check the box to mute the Line In. By default Volume Control shows playback controls, so muting the Line In will only stop it being played back. In other words, it won't affect your recording at all, and you can get on with using your computer as you normally would.

Re: To all of you Total Recorder aficionados out there, a puzzle for you
Well James, I tried that approach, but no go. I am willing to assume the role of a total beginner here and have you direct me. For one thing, what should be my driver configuration. At present, I'm using the User-mode virtual device driver (Playback/Record through TotalRecorder) selection. Do I need to default to using TR as my default playback device? I think I have successfully done this, but I still can't get any sound recorded or played back with the soundboard muted. I really couldn't swear as to just what my settings were before I started having this problem once again. I do know that I didn't have to mute my soundcard to have it go silent when recording linein before now. Man, this is sure frustrating.
