Audacity Forum

i am trying to get audacity to record in computer sound, but it doesn't do anything it just goes silent. i can record through the mic but then i get all the other background noise and the sound isn't as quality. anything i can do to fix this
NOTE: i have done this before.

There is a guide for how to set this up: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... e_computer

My guess is that you just need to change a setting in your sound card mixer.
