capturing computer audio

[mikee286]

I downloaded a program called Audio Recorder Pro to record music off an online radio station but in the settings my soundcard doesn't get detected just some digital output device that only results in recording a blank file.

Look on your Taskbar. On the far right shall be some Icons. Look for a Speaker. Double click on it and goto "Options". Then click "Recording", in there make sure your 'Stereo Mix' is checked, if its not, check it. Then click "Ok". Then Select the "Stereo Mix".

Your soundcard is now ready to be recorded from...... hope that clears it up, if not =/

I tried my best.

I don't see any options for stereo mix its just some sliders for speakers, windows sounds and a menu to choose what device to use for sound which already has the soundcard checked

Vista?? Vista completely messed up these programs because it does not let you record from the audio output by simply changing the recording. In XP you can change recording device, make it Wave Mix, Audiocard Output, Mic, or Video.

What you can do is, check if you have Line In on your sound card, if you do, you would have to get a splitter and split your speaker output and put one in to your line in.

If you have Line Out in addition to Speaker output, just get 3.5 to 3.5 male to male and just loop your audio to it.

I like the splitting idea I already have audio split cable I can use but that only makes 2 audio out jacks out of 1

Are there any winamp addons that allow recording that you know of?

[hyde+]

I am not sure if there is a winamp add on for recording in analog mode, but you can try to use another type of utility, maybe Audiocity could let you do it.

try this

Replay A/V

None of those work. :( It seems M$ is trying hard to not let any audio capture from the computer happen

When you right click the speaker>Audio Devices (or something like that, i forget what its called), what's listed in the Recording tab? One of those devices (line in, mic, or speakers maybe...) right click>Properties, Levels tab and adjust the slider for wave/speaker (or similar), mute the others. Sorry i can't be more specific, not on Vista at the moment.

these are my recording devices listed

By mikee286

should speakers be listed here?

You should try audacity. If you can't record sound with this through your computer, then your soundcard may not be able to. there is a dropdown list on the program that lists your abilities to record. Mine list "internal mic" "external mic" and "line in." If you have a Creative soundcard it should list "what u hear." That's how I record with my computer.

[mikee286]

my sound card is integrated intel high definition audio if that helps.

In the recording device list right click an area (not a device) and select "Show disabled devices". Stero mix should show up, right click it and enable it.

ok i clicked show disabled devices but nothing else comes up
