I am trying to ensure I have the latest audio driver for my machine. The driver on my machine for realtek high definition audio is version 5.10.0.6482 and the date is 10/18/2011. The driver on the HP support site is from 2009. Do I have the most recent update. I'm asking because I'm having problems with Audacity 2.1 DAW software.
My system
HP Compac dx2400
pn2UA9260C7K
My problem w/ Audacity is this:
When I move the recording level pointer in Audacity, the Windows audio icon indicates that sound is muted. When I unmute the sound in Windows, the Audacity recording level goes to zero. The advice on their forum was to ensure the correct audio driver is installed, yet mine is two years newer than the one on the HP support site. But I still don't know if I have the correct one.
Any help is much appreciated.
Mike
