Re: Please help record cassette with RealTek

The set up is 2 RCA cables that go into an adapter that converts to a single mini jack plug. My computer has 3 inputs in the rear (blue = line in, green = speaker out, and pink = mic in). Green/Pink also are in the front with my USB ports. My cable from tape deck goes to the adapter and then the Lin...

Under "Sound Recording", hit the "Volume..." button. The "Recording Control" window should pop up. 5. In the Recording Control window, hit Opti...

Re: Please help me record streaming sound

Realtek control panels sometimes do (according to reports I have seen) list an extra stereo mix input if you know where to look. Once enabled in the Realtek panel, it appears in Windows "Sounds and Audio Devices". Gale - I'm all for that. Show me how to enable the extra stereo mix magically ??? bec...

Re: Please help me record streaming sound

For the moment forget about Realtek. If you have not activated Stereo Mix in Windows you will never see it in Realtek. That isn't always true on Windows XP, I think. The instructions for selecting audio devices on XP so that they appear in the Windows control panel applet are different to Vista / 7...

I know this to be true as I have just proven this on my Win 7 system. I cannot give you XP specific instructions but on Windows 7 you would proceed as follows to try an...

Re: Please help me record streaming sound

The issue isn't with Windows XP ... it is with Realtek. Ensure you really have put a checkmark for all the inputs in "Sounds and Audio Devices". See http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#xpcp . If that does not help, please read everything in the green panel "Help with r...

Re: Please help me record streaming sound

While it's unlikely that you can easily record internet audio in Vista and Win7, WinXP should be a walk in the park. However, in all cases, Recording Internet Audio is a dance between three services, the Operating System, the Sound Card and the Drivers. If any one of them drops the ball, that's the...
