How to get working on Windows 8? (Volume at maximum recording gain is very low)

I assume you are using the USB connector. I haven't tried it on Windows 8 but I guess you need an up-to-date driver, if you can find. I had difficulty to make the USB work well on Windows 7 therefore I used the xlr connector and a pre-amp, instead of spending hours to look for and test the USB driver.

It works with Windows XP so there is no conceivable reason it will not work with Windows 8. I use Audacity, the free Open Source sound editing software. It's great.

not sure what version of windows you are using but in win 7, go to start, control panel, hardware and sound, sound, click on the recording tab and make sure the microphone is selected. Hit apply and you should be all good. You might have to reboot after this process.

there is no indication from the manufacture, so you could goto there website and look see if they have drivers or offer information about it. Sense I refuse to upgrade my media center computer to windows 8 I couldn't tell you for sure.

I do not know about Windows 8 because I still have Windows 7, but I was able to hear the sound through the computer.. To do so with this mic you just have to adjust the setting in the cakewalk software and the computer..

Yes and no, can record in Win8, but nothing while playing World of Warcraft. The quality of the recording in Win8 is good, the sound in WoW will blow you away!!! Hopes that helps.

I use Senn PC360 and have noticed a difference when gaming and recording with Audacity, escpecially in the analog mic input. Using lossless audio is where this card will really shine, so make sure your music library is encoded with ALAC or FLAC, and maybe try HD Tracks for some higher-than-CD quality music!

I still use XP Pro. I expect my Capture will work on newer versions of windows. 8.* is supposed to have touch screen capabilities.

My problem when I updated to 8.1 was that the volume was kind of binary, either full volume or cero. I reinstalled both of the drivers from here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m;=Audio&os;=30. Hope it solves your problem as well.

I don't know if it works with Windows 8 - I'm sure it would though. We just use Audacity, or sometimes the default Sound Recorder that's pre-loaded on Windows 7. You can get Audacity for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I just set mine up and it works fine. I use the USB connection and you need to click the input monitor in the lower toolbar so you can hear it. If that button is not lit up you won't hear it. You don't have to record it. My computer has speakers attached. I have Windows XP.

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.

sound recorder in ubuntu linux makes "lossless" recording of whatever is played on the audio "mix" of the computer. Too bad Sony is supporting the Window$ monopoly.

I have yet to get the Audacity software to work as instructed with Windows 7. It will not let me designate "USB Audio Device" as the "recording device." Does not list it as an option.

The problem is that I'd like to use it when recording video, not just for voice notes. It's been very frustrating - sometimes it records in stereo, but most of the time in mono. I haven't been able to figure out what makes the difference.

I dont know I only have windows 7 but just for your information, the mic sucks. It is very low.
