Andy,

In XP I got round the JFW problem by discovering that Narator wasn't half bad reading out the needed screen to alter sound settings, so I started to use it and found I was well pleased that I could still have some speech and unload Jaws.

Never thought I'd see the day though when I opted for Narator as an option.

Now, I have a funny feeling someone said that has been removed in Vista ...

Must be time for another drink or two before we tackle that one ...

Well Ray, JFW gets recorded, so unloading is required! -

That's good Andy.

Thinking of possible reasons why this mixer setting is disabled by
default, could be to stop system sounds getting into recordings?
Then again, maybe they're controled separately.

Cheers,

James, many thanks for this, I can now confirm to all that have been
interested in this thread, that from following the directions from
the link
in the below message, I am now able to record streams on my Vista
laptop,
using Goldwave! -

Hi

Try these instructions, same as what I sent the other day but a bit
clearer.

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,

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.
