dream realized subscribe and click the
notification bell to set your dreams in
motion when I use the zoom h4n to
connect to the laptop I set it to
operate at 48 kilohertz as opposed to
what the device defaults to which I
believe is 44 kilohertz and on my laptop
when I go to the sound control panel
it says CD is 44 kilohertz and DVD
quality is 48 kilohertz which is why I
decided to use the 48 kilohertz I'm not
sure if I can tell the difference
between 44 and 48 kilohertz but I just
wanted to make sure I used a higher
quality recording or the higher quality
option and when I plugged in the zoom
into the USB and the device driver
installed fine everything looked good
but I had a problem I could not record
my voice my laptop could not hear the
device the microphone wasn't working
when it was set to record with the zoom
so it puzzled me it took me a while it
then I finally found an answer so what
you do if you have this problem is make
sure your zoom is operating at the same
kilohertz as your laptop since I set my
zoom to 48 kilohertz I needed to go to
the control panel of my laptop and
adjust that the kilohertz
okay so I'll show you how to do that
right now just right-click your speaker
icon down here
and go to open sound settings you can
also reach that through the windows
search feature here and from here go to
go to the sound control panel you could
type in sound control panel here as well
and okay go to recording and here the
microphone the microphone was a problem
the playback and headphones was fine but
the recording was not happening so this
is where you go it says to hear because
I plugged it into two different USB
ports in my laptop and this is the
second one they operate separately
whenever you plug in the zoom in to one
USB and another USB on your laptop they
operate slightly the same thing they
come with different settings so this is
for the port two USB h4 double click
that and then go to advanced and this is
where you can control it so so I'm set
to two channel 16 bit 48 kilohertz DVD
quality okay the other option is to
channel 16 bit 44 Hertz CD quality that
was a problem when these are not
matching the two can't talk to each
other in terms of the microphone the
headphones can still work so just make
sure if you have your zoom set to 44
kilohertz then this should be set to 44
kilohertz since myung is at 48 kilohertz
and DVD quality so I had to set this
through 48 kilohertz and then everything
worked fine and there was no problem
after that okay and that's it and I hope
that fixes your problem by the way the
zoom h4n has been discontinued my device
is probably about eight years old and
it's still working well it's a really
good high quality recording piece of
device really solid construction and
it's lasted all these years it's still
working no need to replace it right now
but it's discontinued so if you wanted
to buy one you'd have to buy it use from
somewhere if you'd like check the
description
below to see which are the replacement
devices maybe it's even better these
days as I'm sure it's gotten better okay
