Hello,

My question is in the title. I'm taking English classes and I would like to record my voice to put it on my MP3.
If you could give me an answer for VLC or suggest any other software with which I could record myself, that would be great.
I have downloaded the latest version of VLC, and I've done the same with Java.
I've disabled Avast and Malware, but it still doesn't work.

Thank you in advance
Have a nice afternoon

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 37.0

      Thank you for your quick response..

      I just installed Audacy and a window opens telling me this:
      "Error while opening sound device. Please check the recording device setting and the project sample rate."
      I'm lost....
      However, I also checked if I had sound by watching a video on VLC.
      I have perfect sound and the red button is on.

    Have you connected a microphone?

    Yes, I connected a microphone but I can't hear any sound.
    However, it is properly plugged in, I went to the recording devices and a green signal tells me that it's connected and the green levels are active too. I think it’s neither VLC nor Audacy but my PC, but I don’t know anything about that.

    go to https://www.driverscloud.com/fr install the agent then run an automatic detection and check if you need any updates for your sound card driver.

    The sound card was installed shortly.
    Could you please tell me where the recorded items are located?

    On another note, in Ma-config, I did a search and I was told there are several drivers to install. There were 5 stars next to it with 3 solid orange stars and two empty. What does that mean? Should I install these drivers anyway?

    Have a nice Sunday,
    There is nothing urgent.
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me,

    For the drivers, you need to check the legend.
    Most recent: a green circle
    Identical: a yellow circle
    Older: a red circle
    If you have a green circle, it means that the site has a more recent driver than the one you have. (the circle with an "i" inside right next to the stars)
    Before installing your drivers, I strongly recommend creating a system restore point just in case.

    For saving your sound, once the recording is finished, click on "File" and select "Export Audio" then save your sound in MP3 format
