Troubleshooting / FAQs
1. The recording volume is too low.
Make sure the volume from your audio source
is turned up (i.e. volume on your cassette
player).
Make sure the recording volume is turned up
(see step #8 of the quick start guide).
If you are recording from a turntable or other
“line level”device: many turntables do not
supply a sufficient audio level for recording. In
this case, you need to purchase a preamp.
A low cost (~$15) preamp is the “Pyle PP999
Preamp,” available on Amazon and elsewhere.

your screen, type “Privacy.”
B) Click on “Privacy settings” in the results.

the left hand side.

“Allow access to the microphone on this device”
and: “Allow apps to access your microphone.”

Audacity Software.
FOR WINDOWS 11:
A) In the Windows search bar at the bottom of
your screen, type “Microphone privacy
settings.”
B) Click on “Microphone privacy settings” in the
results.
