RE: GoldWave, recording results only in hiss
Hi, Colin. Thanks for that excellent suggestion on saving GW settings before updating the program. I would note in passing that I have never lost the GW configuration file in the four or five updates I have installed. However, I will start saving the GW configuration before updating in the future out of the abundance of caution.

You could, I believe, have saved yourself all the problems, by before installing the new version, saving your settings, then when the new version had been installed, importing the old settings file. This usually works for me. Far as I remember, this is achieved by the setup menu item, not usually seen in the normal GW program, least not on my system, think you need go into Gw from the start menu, programs method, it is on the GW submenu under setup. There is a command in the keyboard file but on mine, nothing has been assigned and if I set up a key, unsure exactly where it would place me. I might give it a go but save settings first in case things go astray and I am unable to recover. Colin Howard, living near Southampton in Southern England.

Re: GoldWave, recording results only in hiss
This sounds like a similar thing that happened to me a while back when I needed to re-install "Winamp" (I was getting a "hissing" sound if Winamp was at low volume; if I wanted to move forward in the file, then I would get this horrible sound that I could only stop by restarting my computer! I can't remember who, but someone on here helped me solve the problem as somehow Winamp had selected the wrong sound device! Once I set it to the right device, problem was solved!

I had to make a few other changes in the process, but they all boil down to restoring the ones I'd previously set. You reach the device settings tab with F11, then control-tab until it's announced.

In case anyone is interested, I solved the problem in the devices tab. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, October 08, 2012 2:38 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: GoldWave, recording results only in hiss After installing the current version of GoldWave and registering last night, I'm suddenly unable to record. Instead of the sound I intend to record or the silence discussed in the manual troubleshooting section, I get the kind of hiss you hear on AM radio when not tuned into a station. My setup is the same as before. I've kept the same connector between my cassette recorder and the PC's microphone jack. I'm actually trying to record a cassette I did earlier, only to discover I'd set the volume on the cassette player too loud, causing some distortion. At least the problem then was just to reduce the source volume level. I can't find any way around the hiss. The only other time I experienced this hissing sound when recording with GoldWave, I suspected I had too many applications running at once on my PC. A reboot did, in fact, fix it. However, I rebooted twice last night without having any impact. The problem persists today, including with a different cassette that I'd copied successfully to my PC via GoldWave on the weekend. does anyone have a suggestion?
