Recording what the speakers are playing - [fr31ns]Karrde - 05-12-2009
So I'm looking for a way to record the sound that is outputting through my speakers at a given time. The trick is, although I remember how to do this on XP, I've got no clue on how to manage it on vista. Thoughts?

Check your recording input options, chances are that you have a 'Stereo Mix' option.
Detailed instructions are available on request.

I think I got an explanation, but I'm not happy. Looks like a lot of onboard laptop sound card manufacturers are lazy as fuck. The drivers on mine seem to only allow for mics. Seems the industry morons are all "hurrrrr, who'd record what the speaker plays?" Yet another reason why I wish I had both a proper PC and my laptop.
*edit*
Yep. Looks like Sigmatel, realtek, etc, were being leaned on by the RIAA. Ppl were recording streaming audio and whatnot. So this is now a "reccomend me a good external soundcard" thread.

Not if your driver doesn't support it it's not. Audacity can't force the hardware. Besides, I prefer Audition.

Assuming the recording software doesn't output what it's recording simultaneously.

So you can hear what you're recording.
[/quote]But you're recording it. You can hear it already. Anyways, if it has that feature then mute it.
