Sound recorder I previously had a laptop of the same brand that ran windows 7 ,and another that ran windows xp. I was able to record on the voice/sound recorder and play the recording back. have a USB plug microphone that I simply pluged in went to the recorder and recorded what I wanted and then when I saved the recording and pushed the play button it played the recording. This windows 8 recorder does not play back the recording when I push play but it saves the file and shows up in the menu under the name I saved it as but I can't get the recording to play, the recorder bar indicates that it is playing but I can never get it to do anything other than display the file name and run the bar across the screen. How does one access the sound recorder and make it record and play back? Do I need a different mic, or should I just go back to a reel to reel tape recorder? Which I would guess to be the fool proof solution.

    Hi Stephan M Marchetti, THEN
    Brandon Lee wants more answers to this question
    NOW WE HAVE HYJACKERS AND
    SO BRANDON HAS 2 UNSTATED PC'S TOO/??"?
    WHY NOT START your own posts fresh
    with PC model told, clearly.

    and OS you run . w8
    did you upgrade to w8> not told.(jacker)

    windows 8? on top of a PC that does not run windows 8 will have no GOOD sound drivers for w8, so again x2, what PC is this (the XP PC does not run w8 does not)

    toshiba models.
    vast moldels exist did you know for a fact most do not run w8 or w10, MOST for 20 years do not run w8, means sound too and all chips inside work too, NIC, wifi and gpu.
    You do know sound is the most hard.
    rigth, and only OEM driver work (base sound chip)

    reasons to fail sound;
    I have 3 sound cards;chips in my PC.
    USB sound DAC, on board oem,. and external USB speaker direct sound and even hdmi sound. modern PCs.
    my guess is you have no USB sound devices at all, and are only using he one sound resource there is, day one new .

    The driver most be loaded from Toshiba your only clue was that.
    and load them to w8 PC.
    if toshbia shows no w8 support then bingo there is none
    ok drivers good we go to level 2 usage
    control panel
    see sound click it.
    set output to local speaker. laptop inside.
    then set input to mic . inputs.
    now record sounds,
    then play them back



    we can not not guess PCs, it will not ever happen./
    the model is in 3 places for 20+ years
    old to new 1,2,3.
    1;bottom sticker. tells it for vast years
    2; the moved to inside battery well.
    3: then on new PC all that is gone (sad)
    and is on page1 BIOS page, called information. power on hit bios hot key read.

    we can not help blind, ever.
    post photo of it and we can play the game what's my PC, easy. well with bottom shown yes.


    XP PC are 2001 to 2006
    and 99% do not run w8 or 10 and never w11
    the chip makers that old ended drivers,
    16 years ago support ended.
    most drivers googled here are 99% infected !!!

    chips that fail are.
    sound (super easy to fail ask)
    Ethernet.
    wifi dead.
    Display not dead but limp mode crippled.

    if you have working drivers for sound
    then get free
    audacity APP>
    run that, for free.
    play
    edit
    and record any why you want.

    most hardware does not at all
    play and record at the same time,
    just s PC only on desk nothing else.


    use this.
    https://www.audacityteam.org/


    free and safe and no ads, no pain.

    answer 2:
    the
    "have a USB plug microphone"

    this is not just a mic it is a mike and and USB DAC there
    it must have its own driver or fails
    I have fancy one here, but had to load their driver to make it work
    then in control panel inputs turn off
    local mic, and turn on USB mic or it will be dead.
    then sound output must be set to internal PC speakers next or it can not play any things/
    you have TWO MIC:"S not just one.

NO PC told at all, a hopeless case
XP PCs 2001-2006 do not run w8 up. period
same with most VISTA PCs 2007

toshiba had your driver, ever heard of them.
but is now at dynabook.com
go there get them.
they will show there, no w8 up drivers.
see there are none
at the most only MS limp drivers, weak and lacking full support. or dead.
on vista PC and vista drivers in hand
it may load the vista driver to w8
if and only if you use compatiblity mode.

vista-sound.ext right click it and pick compat test.
pure luck happens.

NO PC told at all why ?
we can not show you the drivers at dynabook.com
lacking that, that be IMPOSSIBLE.

like this A105-S2051 (XP laptop random)
just and example

If you still can't record sound on Windows 10, try running Microsoft's dedicated audio recording troubleshooter. This tool automatically detects and repairs audio issues that may prevent you from recording sound on your computer.

Here's how to launch the audio troubleshooter:

1. Go to Start > type 'settings' > double-click on the first result to launch the Settings page
2. Navigate to Update & Security > select Troubleshooter > right-click on the 'Recording Audio' troubleshooter
3. Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to fix the problem.

Or, you can change to another audio recording software to record sound on your computer. Here is a post including some recommendations: 12 Best Audio Recorder Software

You may record directly in this tool. Aside from that, I really like this tool because it organize my save files instantly so I saved time finding my recorded audios. You can get this tool at: https://acethinker.com/record-audio

Why dont i have an internal recording device?

you have an internal recording device. It consists of a built-in webcam and microphone. to make a recording, use the cyberlink webcam program that's pre-installed on your laptop. you'll find it listed somewhere in the start / all programs list in windows 7. also, for sound recording only, the windows 7 audio recorder is located under start / all programs / accessories / sound recorder. select it and click the red record button. also, windows 7 has a feature or program called problem steps recorder. it records activity on your screen including mouse movement. i don't know if it records sound. to access it type psr in the search window and select psr in the search results, then click on start record.

How way can i install sound recording? via microphone..

Is the problem that you need sound recording software? If so.....If this unit is running windows XP, you can use sound recorder (but you will be limited to 30 seconds of recording time.)
This is available from Start, All Programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder. If this option does not exist, you can install it from Start, control panel, add/remove programs, add/remove windows components.
The latter option will ask you for your original windows CD.
The other option is to get a 3rd party sound recording piece of software.
One that I personally use is at the following address: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

Best of luck!
