Hi,

If the waveform looks like a a flat line, it would suggest that the program is not hearing any audio signal from your microphone.

Moving forward, can you confirm if the recordings you have have audio data in them, or are they completely silent?

Keep in touch. Stay safe!

There is  in fact sound recorded. I can play  the segment I recorded but there is still  a flat line or a very minimal wave form. I've tried two divverent mics and two different USB ports and I am still getting a flat wave or or a minimal one that does not look like it used to.

If it is minimal then maybe the input is too low.  I work with an interface where I can crank up the level. My interface is a Focusrite. Not only does it have level controls but it also has an instrument setting which when switched off becomes a microphone setting.   What is you set up? What kind of mic and if there is an interface then what is it? A condenser mic requires input voltage which is available on most interfaces and mixers but it has to be switched on.
