If your microphone was working correctly with your old computer, then it’s still working. Win7 has internal tools to “help you” with your microphone.Įntertainment recording can have problems with these settings and they should be turned off. You are perfectly correct to address the noise at its source rather than putting an electronic band aid on it later. Is it a lost cause? Is the root problem with Windows 7? With the microphones? Are there better microphones (for my very simple purposes) to be recommended? And with the USB mic, I’d like the range of level settings (that is, the corresponding volumes) I had on my XP. But of course I’d rather not incur the noise in the first place. To repeat, Audacity’s Noise Removal generally solves the problem. It seems there is nothing I can control except the level settings, which, as I’ve said, aren’t very good (for the USB mic they are fine for the Realtek mic). In both cases (the Logitech USB mic and the Realtek), Audacity’s Noise Removal generally works very well, though randomly every fifth or so recording is choppy beyond any correction.Īs you know, Windows 7 is using the Windows Generic USB Audio Driver, and there is no Logitech-specific driver. I also get a different but constant and even more obnoxious noise if I use the computer’s built-in Realtek High Definition Audio mic. Also, the audio levels are too low (even at a level setting of 100, the volume is too low). With a level setting anywhere from about 40 or higher, I get a constant thumping noise. I have now moved to a Windows 7 Dell XPS. This was working fine on a Windows XP Lenovo T400. I use Audacity 2.0.2 with a Logitech USB mic to record single-track speech (instructional materials).
