windows 8

Hi, I'm running a Toshihba C855 laptop, it's 1.7ghz dual core AMD and 6gb of ram. I have tried to set up camstudio as I had done on my last machine, I thought it would be simple enough. However, I can't seem to get it to record audio. I used to just run a cable form the headphone socket to the mic input and record that way... and I never had any issues before, but that doesn't seem to work. I tried to follow the instructions to enable the stereomix method... but can't seem to get that to work either. I know I'm more than likely doing something stupid, just can't seem to figure it out.

Any advice, or assistance would be appreciated. And if you would require any further information, then I would be more than happy to oblige.


Thanks for your time.
