Byron Dickens Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 You need to get an audio interface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balinas Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not sure if you have WINDOWS, but if you do, you can open sound settings. One way to do that is go to the little speaker icon in the lower right bar. Right click on that and you will see "open sound settings.' When that opens look for input device. If the laptop recognizes your mic, it should be listed there. Choose it. You don't say what you are trying to record into, so then there may be some settings in CbB in the audio in settings preferences if this is what you are doing. And yes, to get any kind of quality, you need a regular Audio interface. Many nice USB models with 2 in and 2 out, for relatively low cost. Helpful for others would be to list your type of laptop, processor and operating system. If you are on MAC, then these instructions probably dont apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
