Only recording devices have available at all are either microphone, or audio line-in, and there are no settings can find related to enabling other audio channels, like environment etc., but nothing is muted, all volume levels are set to 100%, etc. etc. Went to the sound devices section of the godmode control panel interface on this windows7 machine, FWIW. Also got told to try using this other app by some other guys, but while it thinks it's recording, the files are just silent, although they do have a duration, and a relative file size: http://www.nbxsoft.com/download-sound-recorder.php Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- From: Boshoff, Deon (GP Health) To: blindza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 10:03 AM Subject: [blindza] Re: Free audio recording software to record PC's own internal audio output Oh, no, no, you can set up XP to record from your sound card, a microphone, a CD ROM or an Aux input. Just go to Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices / Advanced and check or unmute all checkboxes. Here you can set the recording volume and which input to use. Hope you could follow what I'm trying to say? Deon [G.

You can record sound from microphone and anything that is being played on your computer. It is the simplest recording program. To record sound you need to follow simple steps - · Choose input device. · Browse for output MP3 file. · Select Bitrate. · Start Recording by pressing Space Bar… · Once you are done with it simply stop recording, by pressing Space Bar again! To choose the input device, go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Audio Page, Recording Audio default, Default Recording Volume, set the recording volume to about 5 to 8 percent, then go to Options / Preferences, and make sure SW Sybnth, or Wave is checked. When you are back at volume, make sure all Mute boxes are unchecked, and close by pressing Alt +F4. After installing Digital Audio Recorder, I suggest you put a shortcut to it on your Start Menu, so you can easily open it from anywhere, whithout closing the program you wish to read and record, for example. Say, for example, you have a document open which you wish Jaws to read for you, while you are recording it, simply press Start [Windows key] followed by the first letter of your Digital Audio Recorder shortcut [D, for example] This will now open Digital recorder, and you can simply press Space bar to start the recording. Quickly press Alt + Tab to return to your document, and tell Jaws or NVDA to start reading…. When you wish to stop the recording, simply press Tab + Alt again. This will return focus to Digital Recorder, so press Space bar again to stop recording. Press Escape to close the recorder, you’re done. By default, you will find your recording at; C / Documents and Settings /Administrator, but you can choose beforehand where you wish to save it. It will be called Recorded Audio.mp3. Well, I surely hope this will help you, I found it the easiest way… Best wishes, Deon. Deon [G.

As in, literally would just like to record all/any sounds the computer is rendering. I know there are various pieces of software out there, and do have two external MP3 player units with their own built in microphones - don't like that idea with regard to quality anyway - can record poorly using my phones if wanted to, and do have another laptop, with an audio line-in, but just wondering if there's a simpler way to just record what's happening on the PC itsself..? Also, since there are possible workarounds, and since this isn't too much of an actual requirement/too necessary as such, I'd only really be interested in free software/solutions.
