Gene,
Since you have the experience for this type of stuff. Would you mind
rewriting this in a more friendly style for blind folks? I was thinking
about putting this up on the Audacity web site. Yeah I know it does need
some work. I need to touch it up again.
Have a wonderful day.

Here is the information about how to enable the option that allows recording
from the sound card in Vista. The information comes from an Internet forum
and is written using mouse terminology such as right click. If explanations
are needed, ask the list. The information isn't well written but it should
allow the feature to be enabled.

Anyone in windows vista, and wishing to use the creative option "What you
hear" or similar (Realtek has this feature named as "Stereo Mix" and various
other sound cards devices have it named various other things as well)
This feature isn't highly used by many people, but anyone that wishes to
perhaps
"Capture" audio WITH their video, this feature is initially extremely hard
to track down on a vista machine.
Most people will encounter this problem when they perhaps use a program
called
"Fraps", a neat little program that allows you to CAPTURE video/audio of
any 3D Application that may be running, however by default, frap won't be
able to find the correct audio input device at all, as by default, window
vista forcefully hides/disables this (probably for content protection
measures)
Here's the fix, now listen closely, (If a problem arises and a visual how to
is required and the demand for it is high enough, i CAN post screenshots
on how to do this)
Go into your control panel under vista, and by default, vista will show a
although user friendly, a much to simplified version of the control panel,
up on the left hand side there should be an option for "Classic View" Select
this:
Now in the classic view of the control panel, open up "SOUND"
Click on the RECORDING Tab
Now usually you'll only have one, maybe 2 things in this list, her's what
you do,
Right click anywhere in the white area of this list
A sub menu should appear
Click on "Show Disabled Devices"
Now the list should grow and allow you to select "What you hear" or "Stereo
Mix" or similar option. You must select the disabled "What you hear" or
"Stereo Mix" and right click on it to select "Enable"
If a device isn't listed yet, another sub menu option MAY be available for
"Show hidden devices", hopefully this will give you all the rest of the
options.
Now to get fraps to use this audio device, you must select the "What you
hear"
or "stereo Mix" and right click to set it as "default"
From there you should have no problems exiting fraps and restarting it to
get the correct audio device.
NOTE: IT IS recommended that you LEAVE the recording "what you hear" or
"stereo
mix" volume slider at it's default, first record something and then adjust
it as you see fit.
This fix screwed up my microphone or other recording devices!?
Wait, while this may ring true, most applications allow you to set which
recoding
device you want to use, by default they usually select the default on,
however
you should be able to select the previous ones within vista EVEN if they
are on the same audio device (vista is handy this way
Wink ) If you can't get that to work, you can always go back and set the
previous
default recording device to default again.
