I’m using an old dell T450 (Win xp pro) at another location with no internet access. It is used almost entirely for recording sermons via a wireless mic system. The computer has onboard sound through the motherboard and has no add on sound card.
It records fine but the voice cannot be heard through the computer speakers during recording for monitoring purposes when using the “mic in” plug. I plug the voice receiver into the “line in” plug and can hear the voice thru the speakers but nothing records.
I’m wondering if adding a sound card would allow recording and monitoring simultaneously.
I have tried two salvaged sound cards that came from working computers. It needs drivers but since I have no inst. disc and no internet connection to the computer, I’m at a loss. I see no markings on either sound card that I recognize as indicating a manufacturer.
I have thought about installing the sound card in a similar computer with the same OS here at home and let it find the driver but I don’t know how to find the driver on this computer to put it on a flash drive to transport to the other computer…not even sure this process would work.
My next alternative, which I’m trying to avoid, would be to bring the computer to internet access and give it a try.
Your comment on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
