Grayed out dropdown/recording output?

Post by Cranyx » Sun May 08, 2011 9:46 pm

I am trying to record my computer's output, and everyone is telling me to select something from the mixer drop down menu, but it is grayed out. I tryed downloading it before, in which case it just wasn't there, but this time I just can;t click on it.

What should I do?

I run Windows XP and recording input from my mic works fine.

What you're looking for is stereo mix: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recor ... e_computer
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).
