Windows Master Mixer mutes mic

Hi everyone.

Thanks for the great forum. I have run across a problem that I have not been able to solve on my own and after searching the net for the last few hours, I am hoping that someone may have a solution.

I am running Version: 5, 10, 00, 3537 on Win 2000 with SP 4.

I have been trying to use Messer to directly record to mp3 using Lame. I have broused the articles I could find about solving recording problems and now I am able to hear audio coming from my mic through the speakers but the input monitor does not respond and the produced files are silent. The driver activated in Messer is:

kX Wave CT4760 10k1 [e000] 0/1

as I assume it should be.

I have implemented the DSP mixer setups from Gonzalo Gutiérrez website in hopes that they might help but the problem still remains that when I call up the Windows Master Mixer, kX1 / MicIn is muted and muted again.

I have tried this with other audio applications as well and although the sound is routed to the speakers, other apps seem oblivious to its existence.

I would greatly appreciate input.

Thanks in advance.

You should not use windows mixer when using KX drivers. Use only KX mixer and save your settings.

I use the windows mixer with kx and it works fine.

It's not recommended. Eugene said that quite a few times.
