Hi gale!
I can't manage to record streams or other stuff coming over the speakers.
I selected Microsoft Soundmapper as input device, microphone being the
only other option. However I'm recording only silence. Got any advice?
Thanks, Robbie

"Listen" only exists on Vista/7. Open "Sound" in the Windows Control
Panel, choose the "Recording" tab, select the headset or microphone and
choose "Properties" then choose the "Listen"
tab. It's software playthrough, so might create too many echoes.
If you had a way to unmute the microphone hardware, that would be on the
"Playback" tab, select the headset or mic, choose "Properties" then the
"Levels" tab. But most Vista/7 machines do not have this.
