Andy, this is interesting indeed as the other Andy is pursuing this
question on the Goldwave list. He's been told there that someone is
recording streams using an external USB card and he reckons to be
having no trouble.
Maybe I should have a think about a well worded Google search on
this subject, but I sure don't want to end up with a PC where I
cannot carry on doing what I've taken for granted this past couple
of years or so.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know what broadcasters here think
about the recording of internet streams? Seeing how people have
been recording radio programmes for as long as anyone can remember,
and they've even harvested long lost recordings because of this,
where exactly lies the problem? It isn't as though you can get
really decent music recordings this way; streams often leave a
good deal to be desired, qualitywise.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi Carol -
Having got Goldwave recording streems fine from my XP machine, I've
just
been trying to do the same on my Vista laptop, but when I look under
the
volume tab under prefereences in Goldwave, There is just a list of
hardware
devices, such as speakers, mic, headphones, there is no mono/stereo
check
box as there is on my XP machine, this may be about my sound card on
my
Vista machine more than about Vista itself, but either way, I can't
record a
streem on the laptop! Gold wave does play other recorded files under
Vista
though!

You could contact the guy who writes the software for GoldWave and
see
what
he says about Vista. There's a contact on
www.goldwave.com

Hi Ray.
I followed the instructions, but unfortunately , it did not
assist me much. Caroline told me to go into Sound/Recording and
look for other devices. I did this but only got one more Line-In
function, associated to the computer's internal card.
I've got my Soundblaster set as the default and I can listen to
the BBC Player and listen to music files using GoldWave, but as
yet, I cannot find a way of getting GW to record audio streams.
This is so frustrating and disappointing Ray. If I cannot resolve
this issue, I'll need to consider removing VISTA and installing XP
Media Center.
Best wishes.
Andy.

So, Andy, and anyone using Vista wanting to record streaming
audio, will you give James's suggested changes to sound settings
a try and tell us if you can then record streams using Goldwave
or another audio editor?

Try this info. I'm not a Vista user myself, but understand that
you can
record 'what you hear'.
*** start of copied text ***
go to, control panel (classic view) - sound - recording tab -
right click in
the white area - select 'show disabled devices' - right click on
stereo
mix - select 'enable'
now you can use any progam you like e.g. audacity to record what
you hear.
*** End of copied text ***
Hope this is useful, sorry I can't provide any specific
instructions on how
to achieve this with a screenreader.

Hi Douglas.
Same here mate. I have a lovely new crispy VISTA computer yet
I'm using my really old Packard Bell to record radio shows
tonight. I really do hope that VISTA is not going to prevent
me from using GoldWave and recording "What you Hear". I'm
waiting on some advise from the experts in this regard, but my
gut feeling is that copywrite is so important, they will only
now allow you to listen and not record just about anything
coming through your computer..
I really do hope I'm proven wrong here as recording audio is a
very big part of my interest in computing. without this
function, then there is little in computing for me I'm
thinking. If you manage to get around this problem, please let
me know about it eh?
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Andy,
I have only been using vista for a relatively short time, but
I have had problems recording
(even via the microphone) with Goldwave. I have had error
messages such as "Access
violation" etc. from time to time, and have reverted to doing
all recording on an XP system
until I have time to sort out whether there is really a
problem with Goldwave and Vista.

Hi all.
I'm experiencing some difficulty getting VISTA and my
Soundblaster 24 bit
external sound card to record "What you hear". I regularly
record from BBC Radio Scotland and would hate to think that
VISTA is intent to prevent
me from being able to do this.
Would love to hear from anyone using VISTA with GoldWave.
Best wishes.
