record vu meters active with no input

I just installed n-Track. with no sound input The record vu shows sound. Running vista ult. tried different devices in i think preferences

Check the Windows mixer applet (does Vista even have one?) to see what input you have set to record from. Maybe you’ve got a noisy input or have selected one with built-in mic like on my laptop. Other than that you just may well have a very noisy card. What levels do the meters peak when you are seeing this problem?

What sound card are you using and who made your computer? If you have a Dell and are using the on board sound card, you have a problem. Dell’s onboard cards and drivers under Vista do not support full duplex/input monitoring and have a huge latency problem.

If Dell is your computer maker search the forums on thier sight for the registery hack to enable input monitoring. I found a driver on Gateways sight that fixed this problem on my Dell.
