When I try to record my voice on the Windows record program, the
green line
is already moving before I star talking but does not record
anything.
On play back I just hear screachy noises.
Please help.
"Windows record program" means WHAT? The Sound Recorder program?
The green line has nothing to do with performing the recording.
That's just like the graph on a mixer showing you the input volume
levels. You can see those levels whether you are recording or not,
just like your ears hear sound whether you pressed the button on your
recorder or not. If the slider button isn't moving across the screen
then you aren't recording. Scream all you want to make the green line
dance. If you aren't actually recording then nothing gets recorded.
Did you hit the record button to actually start recording? Is the mic
plugged into the right jack? Does the mic work (have you tried it
with something else)? Is the mic enabled in the mixer? Is the mic
jack on the motherboard or a sound card? If on the motherboard, did
you check if the mobo maker provides a utility for rearranging which
jacks perform what function? Some don't have all the jacks needed to
support every function the mobo maker claims to provide, so they let
you jumble them around which means you don't get 100% of all the
functions at once but only some subset of them (i.e., N functions
across M connections where N is greater than M).
