record computer audio

[Cream Soda]

Looking for a program that can record what's currently playing on my PC.

Tried a few from google but I've been getting the runaround, ect.

I use Free Hi-Q recorder. It's not great but it's doable

If you want a lolway to do it, Windows Sound Recorder works. Just change to stereo mix, and google how to extend the length.

How do you configure it? I just downloaded it and it records my microphone rather than my computer.

How do you change it? Vista windows sound recorder simply has a record button. I don't see options anywhere on here.

I just used the default settings. The only thing I've ever used it for was recording songs of a youtube video that was playing on my laptop, here's my settings though:

That's tiny
Unfortunately, I can't make that out at all.

I still can't get it to record from my computer Both programs mic only so far.

^ use audacity

Is there a setting I have wrong or something? I'm also getting micorphone from audacity, too

[Furtwangler]

right click on the speaker icon on the bottom right, hit recording options, and set the Stereo sound as your default input device, then restart audacity and "In the drop-down menu on Audacity's mixer toolbar, choose “Wave Out” or “Stereo Mix” as the input source. (The exact name may be different, depending on your computer's sound drivers.)" also "Note: on Windows Vista or 7, you must choose the required input source in the "Recording Device" dropdown in the "Audio I/O" tab of Preferences ("Devices" tab in Audacity Beta). On Windows"

That worked for not getting it to record the microphone, but now it records nothing. Total flatline.

if you go into the stereo mix from the speaker icon on the bottom right by the click and play music, can you see the volume meter going up?

[Cream Soda]

Not sure what you mean, you lost me. Am I on the recording or playback tab? That's if you even wanted me back at the same menu were I was able to change priority.

Volume meter only goes up on playback tab, not recording tab.
