I have a Lenovo tablet on which I used to be able to record using its built-in microphone, and, to some degree, a mediocre earbud mike plugged into the headphone jack. I had to wipe the machine, (or maybe I didn't have to, but I did,) then upgraded it to windows 10 anniversary. Now I can't make this work.
The default recording device is the Connexant Smartaudio HD. When I go into its properties, the microphone is invariably muted and volume is at 0. I change these settings and the changes do not remain in effect. I had learned that it is unwise to have Skype control your microphone setting, but when I turn that Skype option on, I am able to use Skype. I am trying to record using the free virtual recorder program, and it works for capturing What You Hear but not the microphone. I have Goldwave, but find it doesn't work as well under windows 10 as it used to for me, likely because I haven't taken the time to re-learn it. Mainly, I would like the connexant audio Properties to remain in effect when I set them. Suggestions?
