When I try to record a Voice-Over, all it does is copy the base audio file into the VO track. If I mute the base audio track, nothing at all records. As we used to say in the old country, "Something is moofky-foofky here"

The driver for the Realtec Sound microphone portion was defective. I reloaded it an it's now AOK. How this went bad in a computer ten days old is a mystery, but there it is.
