I am currently trying to record the sound that comes out of my speakers. I have HEARD that all you need to do is switch the microphone setting to Stereo Mix, but that doesn't seem to work. It may be because I have a custom built computer, or I could just be making an error some where. The only program I have gotten to record the sound is Replay A/V, but that only records 5 mins at a time and is really buggy. Is there any other program, or setting I can change to make this easier? Any help would be nice. Thanks in Advance. Download and install Audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
(Great program for music editing and recording)

See if you can record with it.Already tried that, I MEAN maybe I did the steps wrong, but I really don't think I did. I kinda wish I had, then would be the solution Go to Volume Control (Double click the Speaker Icon in the System Tray (near the clock)
In Volume Control, make sure everything is Not Muted and the SLIDERS all the way up to full.
Now to go Options --> Properties and change the dropdown menu to your Input and press OK.
Do the same and Unmute everything and try again.Change what to input? In audacity or the volume control? Either place I see nothing about changing to input. As for recording in Audacity, all I am getting is the sound my mic hears, not the sound my speakers are giving out, isn't there a way just to record that?In Volume Control.
Start --> Run --> type sndvol32 and press Enter.Okay, I understand that now, but I want to be the input to be what my speakers are hearing, is their any way to chance it to that? the only options I ahve are my #1 mic, my #2 mic, and my normal Mixer, SoundMax HD AUDIO. Is there a way to put speaker sound on this list?Oh, is this Vista or XP?XP and no I am not sticking my tongue out, hehRight.

Are you sure you've got the sliders up and unmuted here? (making sure we're on the same page)



Mine looks a little different then yours, maybe that is important, and yes I know the sliders are down, but even when all the way up they do nothingHave you tried unmuting Stereo Mix?It Isn't Muted, it is SELECTED, Mine works differently it seems, that is why I think is the problem.Oh, Select. I haven't seen that before. Heh.

I'll do some more searching, but what happens if you select all of them or don't select any?Clicking on one moves the check mark, and clicking on the one with the check mark does nothing
