Just got a new Dell PC with Windows 11.  The external mic won't work on it.  I only can record myself with built in mic.  I did not have this problem with my old PC, which had W10. 

 

Can anyone give me advice on this?

    Inhad the same issue with audition 1.5 the work around is to buy a USB dongle adaptor. Plug adapeter to any USB port. Then the mini din audio cable from that dongle, plug it to the audio headphones out.

    In audition, gonto device properties. Select Wave In "Microphone (USB Microphone) then you will he set. However you may need a mini audio adapter spliter to connect to external speaker so you can hear the sound. USB adapter i purchase from amazon is brand Digitnow! Good luck

    Your dreams can still be as new!

    That program can still work!

     

    There are a few settings that are application specific to set:

    First, in Audition 1.5 with Windows 11, you need to go to Options, Device Properties, and select the appropriate dropdown to your recording use. I switched mine to stereo mix, but you might have to switch yours to your microphone input (*which itself might need: device manager, audio card, properties, sound enabled or allow playback or somethign thing that)
    Next, go to the audition program options drop down menu, device properties, device order, and select the appropriate audio device to the top, and you must click on enable EV, to be able to be used in the edit view record.

    Lastly, recheck the first two steps to make sure it is still listed right, then on your computer, search (win/s), system, sound, volume mixer, again select the right drop downs for your project.

     

    Or, your computer capabilities can also be better used with the amazing updated converters, bells and whistles using a current and secure Adobe Creative suite subscription at a reasonable rate.

     

    Rock on!

    My external mic does not work on my new Dell computer with Windows 11.  AA 1.5 worked fine with my external mic on my old computer.  Any ideas what the problem is?  Is W11 no compatible with AA 1.5?

    Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 (and MAYBE Windows 11 ?)
    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
    -and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

    Adobe 1.5 what?

    When you post a question you always need to tell the program you are using
    There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
    Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum

    Sorry.  I am using Adobe Audition 1.5.  While installing I believe I got some message that this edition of AA 1.5 wasn't compatible(or something like that) with my edition of Windows....Windows 11.  Might this be the cause of the problem?

    Audition 1.5 was released 18 years ago and was not meant to run on Windows 11, however if it ran on Windows 10, you might be able to run it on Windows 11.

     

    I'm going to move this to the Audition forum.
