| 1389116 | 2014-11-27 23:58:00 | I’m having trouble recording from Stereo-Mix or equivalent on my Win7 SP1 machine. It would seem that it is a common problem but blowed if I can find the answer. The only Recording Devices shown are two microphones and line-in, no sign of stereo mix. 6053 Now one article on Google recommended reinstalling OLD drivers, but I’d rather not go down that path. All I want to do is record what is coming out the speakers in a codec that will play on older CD Players, once of course I’ve burnt it to a CD. If I need to download a programme to do that, that’s fine, what’s good and what’s not. :thanks |

| 1389119 | 2014-11-28 01:12:00 | Bit of a story -- in a silly mood ;) Had the EXACT same problem with this W7 - After trying god knows how many free recorders, including Audacity, nothing would really do the job, or were to hard to learn :( After lots of swearing to myself ( What me ?) :rolleyes: Then I membered an old program I brought back when using Windows 98 -- Downloaded it again, threw it on here, ran through the setup wizard, located the original licence --- bugger me it worked and accepted it ---- Ye-Haaaaa:banana 6054 The program-- Total Recorder Standard (www.totalrecorder.com) --- works a treat. You can select several input methods, and they all worked. The free trial will allow you to try it. The Trial will put in a beeeeeeeeeeep every 60 Seconds on the recording BUT it will allow you to test it. The evaluation copy is a fully functional version of the program with the exception that an audible noise will be inserted about every 60 seconds throughout each recording you make. For unlimited audio recording without the insertion of an audible noise, you must purchase a Total Recorder license. Best $17.95 USA (current price) I ever spent 16 Years ago. |

| 1389121 | 2014-11-28 01:45:00 | Adding to my post above, Latest Total Recorder and its licence purchased 16 years ago works on W10 as well --- The onboard Sound recorder in W10 couldn't detect any line in or speakers - TR did :punk | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1389122 | 2014-11-28 01:45:00 | What is "stereo mix"? are you trying to record something you are playing back or streaming on the PC? The default recording options only list inputs as that's the only thing it's designed to record from. I'm sure it can be done easily enough by the right software but I'm not surprised it's not a standard option. |

| 1389123 | 2014-11-28 02:48:00 | Have you tried right clicking in the blank space of the recording device panel then ensuring that Both “View Disabled Devices” and “View Disconnected Devices” options are checked? Stereo mix is often hidden in there, If it still is not apparent you will have to use a driver that supports it, often older Vista or XP drivers. More details here www.howtogeek.com |

| 1389124 | 2014-11-28 02:51:00 | Had the EXACT same problem with this W7 - After trying god knows how many free recorders, including Audacity, nothing would really do the job, or were to hard to learn :( After lots of swearing to myself ( What me ?) :rolleyes: We walked the same path Wainui and like you I wound up making commendable impressions of a startled Crow, except not under my breath. ;) In the end I turned on my faithful old XP machine and had the job done in minutes. I used Audio Editor Delux which I think was a GOTD some time ago. Anyway, I have it saved in WAV format, but I’m not sure if older CD Players will play WAV files so can someone help me out on that one. I seem to remember having trouble years ago because some players (early models) would only play CDDA or CD-DA is it? All the newer ones I’ve encountered play MP3’s as well so that’s a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, I can’t find a programme that will convert to CDDA so can anyone suggest one, or is there another name for CDDA? But quite why we need hundreds of codec’s eludes me. :confused: |

| 1389125 | 2014-11-28 03:06:00 | CDDA is only the original format used on music CD's. Any reasonable Audio CD creator should auto convert when creating a CD. Personally I use Ashampoo Burning Studio -- Dead simple, open program, music / Make Audio CD - Select Add - WAV - follow the wizard and away it goes. Just downloaded the latest Free version 2015, from sharewareonsale.com ONLY thing you have to watch for when installing -- Like always LOOK at what you are accepting, there's ONE window that opens and offers to install some other program ( by default) , simply select "no Thanks" - and carry on. Then delete the two links it creates to other deals on Ashampoos site. |
