VS11plus crashes when recording audio from the mic

Hi,

I'm using VS 11.5.0157.2 and it works great except that when I try to add some voice over trough the microphone it crashes. It happens all the time when I press "Stop" (after "Record Voice").
I installed recent Direct X and the following updates:
Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus Power Pack
Ulead VideoStudio 11 Update Pack
and it didn't help.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

J.

what about your inbuilt sound...have you updated drivers for them?

You should be able to from Device Manager an check for updates.

Thanks Clevo, I checked my audio drivers and they appear to be up-to-date. All other audio applications (like Audacity) work fine...

For what it is worth, I have VS11.5 (the same version as you) on a Vista Ultimate computer (see my System button for details). I have just inserted a random DV type 1 file in the timeline, then used my attached microphone to record some audio. It started and stopped perfectly and the audio played back well. I am thus unable to replicate what you might have done...

In any case, that was interesting to me since in fact I have never before used a MIC with VS11.5 as I always do my voice-overs in another program. That gives me far greater control over the final sound of it and I can trim it and apply filters if necessary. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the good quality of the audio recorded direct by VS11.5+.

Is there any anything special about your microphone or computer set-up? What operating system do you have?

Ken, thanks for the reply! I use XP SP2. I tried to be smart and decided to use Audacity for my voiceovers. However the program now shuts down when I try to edit video clips even without sound! How weird is that... I'll try installing some registry cleaner to see if it's going to help. (but not before I do full system backup

)
