Can't record streaming audio (SOLVED)

Post by Chaim2 » Sun Nov 27, 2011 9:29 pm

Hello,
I have W7 and audacity 1.3.13.
If I try recording the waveform stays completely flat as it would be muted. The input is set to "Primary sound capture" and volume to maximum.
I have no problem recording with "real player".
What am I doing wrong?
Please help me.

Thanks

steve

There's a tutorial that should help to guide you through the set-up process. The biggest problem is usually finding a way to get Win 7 to play ball, but hopefully this will help: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tuto ... e_computer

Thank you so much.

The problem was that the Stereo Mix was disabled. After enabling it, the recording works fine.
