So it sounds like you just had to find the right version of the realtek driver that was meant for your audio. Good to hear you found them :-)

Hi,
          clarification sought: file size yesterday 221 mb today at the same site 232mb.
          When recording thro window sound recorder and played in Mpc hc, i get this picture, while audio playing. where did it come from. But when i play with windows media player, this is not shown.
             Original REaltek file in Realtek link  is 106 mb. When i further checked , the original file name is stubi.32 exe , by realtek.
                   I have checked with avast, MSE it shows no infection. The file size is increasing . Please your view on this. Where i can find the realtek file for this. They have given only executable file as 106 mbs.
The Bottom line is "Check your hardware first if it supports the task you try".

Realtek has a ton of different drivers, they have so many different models on so many mother boards is why. So the file sizes will be different depending which ones you download.

stub32i.exe is ok, that is just the file name when realtek made the setup and simply renamed it when they put it on their site.

As for the picture, it looks like it is the album cover type, the media player will look for that jpg in the same folder and show it.

Hi, Thanks, for the clarification. Now i am relieved.
                         Expecting audacity ideas from you or Samson.
                            Do you mean picture from my downloaded page? available in my system folder.I remember that when i printscreen the hardware tool in this post, and test a recording in MPC player, the wma file shows the details of this jpg. is that automatic search by the player to show some jpeg files?

No, check the folder of the file you are playing and see if there is a AlbumArt jpgs or folder jpg files, they are normally set to hidden so make sure your system is set to show hidden files.

Hi jraju,

Good to hear that you are sorted. Looks like the same HD driver I linked to in post #7? V2.75?

Here you go: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorials.html

You do realise that you will have to share this song with us when it is finished?  :wink:

Samson.

I recently had a similar cover picture problem as well as displaying it with unknown album and song title with a pre-recorded CD using WMP.

When I stopped the playback I was presented with the option to resume or go to the Library and on going to the library there was a link to update the album info which then gave me the cover on playback.

This may resolve WMP for you .

Hi, Thanks all
                       What is the use of the other jack Blue, line in. Could it be used for amplifier, a kind of boosting the sound effect? I will try audacity tutorial and try to record.
                          The settings in audacity is automatic I suppose, samson.

Line In, the blue socket, is for connecting other audio input sources, either directly or through an amplifier. It offers no "boosting the sound effect", it is simply an input. I use it to connect a cassette deck (kids you can Google it  :wink:) or a turntable via an amplifier, to convert old analogue stuff to digital formats.

Audacity settings are not really "automatic", you will have to select the source, recording quality, levels etc, and decide what format you want to export the recording in. But you can find all this in the guides, it may seem a little intimidating but you will soon get the hang of it.
