I went to the 'Computer Geek Help' and spent $40.00 bucks to learn that this function does not work the same as it did in Windows 98, and that I need to possibly reconfigure my settings.? That was all I got for 20 minutes and $40.00.Ĭan anyone help me with this.The people that I got the computers from suggest I upgrade my new computers? The Geek suggested maybe upgrading my sound drivers. Now with XP I am unable to perform this function and cannot record from the 'Tone Generator Device'.? I Was even able to mute my speakers and still record the tones going through the inline from tones generated to the 'Recorder'. I would then be able to go to the 'Sound Recorder' and with the 'Tone Generator' running and a sound coming out of the speakers would click on the 'RED DOT' and I would be able to start recording. if I remember correctly, I would click 'Select' selecting the 'Line In', turn up the volume and that would be it. On my old Sony Vaio, which ran Windows 98, I would set my 'Tone Generator' where I wanted it, bring up the 'Sound Recorder', Go to - 'Edit', click on 'Audio Properties', under the 'Sound Recording' device click 'Volume', the volume control screen would pop-up and there would be a 'Line In', or 'Microphone' option.

My goal is to generate a specific frequency on the computer and hit the ' red record' button and save it as a sound file, that I was able to do with the old windows 98, that can be latter converted to a mp3 file. The Sound Devices on both are: 'SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC' I have 2 new Dells.a lap top INSPIRON B120, and a desk top DIMENSION E310.

On a creative note sometimes I work with a NCH Tone Generator, which is a simple frequency generator program. How can I record sounds I generate on the computer internally? Do I need a driver upgrade or reconfigure com ports?
