Adding input devices

Post by mrlee » Fri May 30, 2008 11:49 pm

I'm new to Audacity, so forgive my ignorance. I want to record streaming audio, but my input choices are limited to "Microphone", "Digital Mic" and "Line In". I downloaded Audacity on an older laptop and I have several other selections, one of which allows me to record the audio stream. How do I add input devices to the drop down menu?

Thanks,
Lee

I have a fuzzy answer. One of the Windows device panels had a right-click option which will give you additional devices.

I'm not in front of my machine, so I can't be any more helpful.

If your input devices are limited like this - you should be able to get recordings of streamed audio by looping back the output to the input on your soundcard (either internal/on-board soundcard or external soundcard).
