i have a toshiba satellite with an i3 processor and it has no sound card because the processor handles the sound and vid, im wondering if there is any audio recorder software that will work with this setup. all the recorders i have looked at work off a sound card as the recording sorce, i like to record from streaming audio sources. any help would be appreciated. thanks fritz123
It must have a built-in sound device and video device, though the built-in sound device may not allow you to record streaming audio.
If you use Audacity 2.0.4, you can select Windows WASAPI host in the first box of Device Toolbar then the (loopback) input in the third box. Choose the loopback input for the device that is playing the audio. This works even if your sound device lacks its own input to record computer playback.
