Audio-recorder & web browser problem

[Chris_W]

Hi,

I have audio-recorder installed and partly working okay, reinstalled several time just to make sure it wasn't a dodgy install.

My problem is that it doesn't matter which web browser I install and set as default, audio-recorder just doesn't pick up on it and list it as a device to record from.

Any ideas as to what might be the cause?
