Having problems with my new soundcard Audigy (Creative Soundblaster)
with recording through the microphone. Playback for .wav, ogg, etc.
works good.
I can't record in Sound Recorder nore Audacity nore use it with Skype.
The Volume Control is a mystery to me because there are too many
strange meaningless names (LFE and "front end" and much more).
I disabled the onboard soundcard in the BIOS, but read something on
Google about disabling the drivers for it too might be a good idea.
How do I find which and where those drivers are? and does it make a
difference uninstalling them?
The volume control is probably the answer. In the Input section, make
sure Mic and Capture are unmuted with the volume sliders raised.
