A few months ago there was a thread about recording Internet streams using VISTA and some people had found that their soundboards and the driver implementations used in such machines did not allow this feature to work as it had done on some similar machines running Windows XP. What follows may be a solution for those using Windows VISTA whose sound devices did not allow them to use their soundcard to record Internet streams using the soundcard;s own DSP resources. This same problem can crop up with some adaptors even under Windows XP although for some reason not related specifically to VISTA architecture the problem is worse I don't know why. Today I learnt that High Criteria who produce a sound recorder package called Total Recorder have release version 7.0 of their product. This product is long established on Windows XP and even some JAWS users who been aware of it but has not been fully VISTA compatible as the previous version 6.1 I tried earlier this year with no success on this front. Version 7.0 now has full VISTA compatibility and users can now use their virtual sound driver to record streams and soundcard output as was possible on XP and also now on VISTA whether their soundcard supports this natively or not. My laptop for example has a Sigmatel HD Audio adaptor which does not support recording of its own output with the current driver implementation. However with version 7.0 installed (I have had a license for some time) this free upgrade solves these problems very nicely. It is available from here www.highcriteria.com The standard edition is not very expensive and will do the job if you need to occasionally record streams. The pro version has a few more perks but isn't strictly necessary for the task described above. Anyway with the usual disclaimers in place such as I don't take commission for these people and S&S don't sell Total Recorder I recommend users with this particular problem give it a try, there is a demo version so you can try before you buy. Hope this helps. Regards.
