Troubleshooting Without Diagnostics
Solution
1. If using digital speakers that
have a stereo jack and want the
system to auto-switch to digital,
use a stereo-to-mono adapter
to properly engage the
auto-sense feature or use the
multimedia device properties
to manually switch the audio
signal from analog to digital.
2. If the headphones have a mono
jack, use the multimedia device
properties to switch the system
to analog out.
Shut down all open
processor-intensive applications.
1. Before recording, make sure
there is enough free space on
the hard disk.
2. Try recording the audio file in a
compressed format.
