[quote="mksphnx2001"]I had that same isssue with the levels when I first tried it as well. You have to go into your advanced settings in your sound card. Just right click on the little speaker at the bottom left hand cornor of your screen, well at least that is where mine is located.

Go:
1) Adjust audio properties

2) Click advanced under audio volume (your audio volume mixer should come up)

3) Once audio mixer is up click on option at the top left hand corner and select properties.

4) At the top of the properties menu you should see an option to select either playback or recording. My computer defaults to playback but you want to select recording so that Acid will pick up the levels when you try to record audio in.

That should do it,let me know if you have an issues after that.[/quote]


I've done this and now I can get levels on Acid. Thanks buddy but, now when I record and listen to the audio it sounds like garbage. Really choppy and peaking a lot. I've played with the record gain but it still sounds really choppy. Do I need a better sound card?

I have a pretty basic card in my PC (Soundblaster digital 5.1). I think what you might want to do is play around with where you have cable pluged into your card. Plug in the mic jack or try the digital in jack, and the try the midi jack. I can't remember which one worked for me. Also in your advanced settings make sure you have everything checked off. I do know that its a pretty simple solution because it happened to me as well, just can't recall what I did to fix it.
