Saba Centra on startup automatically selects the "microphone" as recording device…
- … But we in the language lab use the (dual function microphone/line-in) "rear input" for our headsets (for ergonomic, health&safety and security reasons). Workaround here.
- Apparently this startup behavior cannot be changed within Saba Centra:
- Any startup will bring up the “Audio Wizard” asking users, even in a controlled lab environment, to configure their audio devices,
- and if users do (and choose what they have: headset), make wrong assumptions which audio plug to enable (“Microphone” front panel, even if your headset is plugged into the rear panel dual “line-in/microphone”)
- The workaround according to these easily Googled instructions is using the “Advanced” audio wizard options to override this “Audio Wizard” error, like so:
- “Re-open the Audio Wizard, go to the third screen and change your recording device in your “Recording Device” menu. Advance two slides and determine if you can hear your recorded voice. ”
- 1st screen:
- 3rd screen:
- note the instructions – Click “Advanced”. But it is easier to just use from the start our Workaround here.
- 1st screen:
- “Re-open the Audio Wizard, go to the third screen and change your recording device in your “Recording Device” menu. Advance two slides and determine if you can hear your recorded voice. ”
- The long-term solution is reconfigure your hardware and disable the front panel audio – but will Saba Centra understand you? Stay tuned…
