Try setting the bit rate to “16 bit or higher.”
If you are using Windows 98 Second Edition and your recording software is set to a bit rate setting of 8 bits, a
silent file may be created, effectively making recording impossible. If this occurs, set the bit rate to
“16 bit or
higher,”
and you will be able to record normally.
