This not being able to record in Vista seemingly doesn't bother a lot of folk. I wonder, is it that others have found the way around it but are keeping quiet in case Microsoft's listening? Maybe they don't want to own up to recording stuff this way, but for personal use I don't see the problem. You've had no reply from the Goldwave people themselves? Wonder too if Apple users are faced with the same sort of thing. If they don't, then it Sure is one reason one might consider switching to the Mac! I'll be interested too to see if this post makes it as all my attempts to reply to Jamie's post re. RNIB and web radio boxes simply don't make it to the list. (I've sent Jamie a copy of this unseen message to this list personally.) Cheers, From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Andy Logue Subject: [access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 1:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave > 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? > > From Ray > I can be contacted off-list at: > mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx > > > -----Original Message----- > James O'Dell > Subject: [access-uk] Re: VISTA and recording with GoldWave > > > Andy > > Try this info.
