Feedback during record from a website

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

I’m trying to record from a website using Audacity 3.7.5 on Windows 11.

I followed this: How to record streaming from a website? [SOLVED]

but I get feedback during the record, so I found this one: Can someone listen to this and tell me what's happening?

which has a recording of pretty much what I’m hearing. The solution in that posting was to turn off Software Playthrough in the Preferences || Recording but I don’t see that box when I look at my Preferences | Recording window. The options I see that might do something is turning off “Hear other tracks while recording” but that doesn’t do anything. And “Audible input monitoring” when I turn that one off, I get “Error opening recording device. Error code: -9997 Invalid sample rate.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

That’s the new name for Software Playthrough and it’s the cause of the feedback

I don’t know what’s going on, and I don’t always believe the error description but have you tried 48,000Hz and 44,100Hz? (It’s usually one of those streaming-in.)

The bottom of this page has some alternatives.

Spectacular thank you! I checked the sample rates and they’re all default (44,100). I killed Audacity and restarted, and now I don’t get that error so I don’t know what happened. Maybe after turning off the “Audible input monitoring” it requires a restart? Restarts fix all kinds of evils. :slight_smile:

So for anybody else seeing this problem, this is my setup:

Edit | Preferences | Recording | Autible input monitoring - turn it off

View | Toolbars | Devices Toolbar - turn on (a different post suggested this)

In the new toolbar, I have selected Windows WASPI, Speakers (loopback), 2 (Stereo) Recording, and Speakers

Now it works!
