I want to record the very eclectic music on WZRD Chicago online that I cannot buy on Amazon.
So basically you mean that you want to record sounds that are playing on your computer.
Have you tried “Sound Leech” (Milo software).
It’s a bit quirky but it is currently free and I’ve had a lot of success with it.
Yes I’ve tried sound leech and the other product recommended by this forum but did not like them. I just got off the phone with HP support and they will pay for an external sound card that attaches via USB port. They recommend Creative Sound Blaster. Said the original sound card on the motherboard is probably the problem and sometimes computer makers go with what’s available for mass production because most consumers are happy with just basic sound.
I’ll let you know how it works out.

Hello All
HP suggested (and paid for) that I purchas a $39.95 Creative Sound Blaster USB sound card, and now the music playback from recorded streaming audio sounds very good. I am hoping it will sound great with a few adjustments.
Considering how much we have gone around and around with this, you might want to add this solution to the FAQs, so the next time somebody complains about “lousy” playback from recorded sound an important suggestion would be to purchase a USB sound card.
The only complaint I have with Creative is that they no longer have telephone support. Oh well I figured it out.

It isn’t frequent that motherboard audio is as bad as you experienced (after disabling sound effects and unwanted audio features).
The fact that HP stumped up the money makes me think that there was a problem with that computer, or they know the motherboard sound on that model has a problem.
