WheatNet-IP Driver or VoxPro Can Play But Not Record
Problem
A workstation with a Wheatnet IP Driver can play back audio but not record. Adobe Audition or VoxPro might throw an error saying it cannot connect to the record device (or in Audition this could be an “unspecified error”) or it could just be silent.
The audio device is visible in Windows Control Panel but there are no record meters in Control Panel even though it’s being fed audio.
Solution
The Microphone Privacy setting in Windows 10 and higher needs to be set to allow the microphone to be used.
- In Windows, click the magnifying glass for search and begin to type “microphone”
- When you see Microphone Privacy Settings, click on that
- Turn Microphone Privacy off for desktop applications. (In Windows 11 this is a toggle to "Let Apps Access My Microphone" and "LetDesktop Apps access your microphone" that should be set to On.)
