HOW CAN I RECORD A 60+ SECOND SOUND
FILE?
Unfortunately, there is no
known way to easily change the sound recorder to record longer than 60 seconds. The reason
for this is because the sound recorder uses a low compression ratio; therefore, the files
are great quality but are also extremely big. The best way that we have discovered to kind of bypass
this is to hit record and just record dead air, and once stopped to hit record again
and keep repeating the process; then when you have reached an ample time, rewind, and hit
record and begin recording.
The alternative to this solution would be to get an application
designed to record sound files at a good compression ratio.
RECEIVE
ERROR SOUND DEVICE IS NOT INSTALLED.
When trying to play a sound .wav file you receive the following error
message: "Sound Recorder cannot record or play back because a sound device is not
installed."
Click on Start / Run and type system.ini, this should get you into the
system notepad. In the [boot] section add the below line.
drivers=MMSYSTEM.DLL
If this line is present but has a semicolon (;) in front of the line,
remove the semicolon; or if this line is present but has something else written
besides the above line, put a space and after what is being loaded and then add
MMSYSTEM.DLL.
MICROPHONE IS NOT RECORDING ANY
SOUNDS.
If when trying to record and when talking into the microphone you do not
see the status indicator line moving and you are not able to record anything,
verify the below recommendations.
-
Ensure that your microphone is hooked into the correct place (line out or mic) in your sound
card.
-
If the microphone uses batteries then in sure the battery is
a known good battery.
-
Verify settings set properly by clicking Start /
Settings / Control panel and go
to multimedia; make sure that the correct recording and playback device are correct.
-
After all
the above, try reinstalling your sound card and/or refer to our Microphone /
Sound Card troubleshooting sections.
