HI

Maybe someone has answerd this before..i'm sorry.
But i'm new to this forum stuff. And sorry for my bad english.

I must ask this.

This is really getting on my nerves.

In Xp i Can record FROM the computer..so the sound that i hear in my speakers when i'm listning to a song at Ex Youtube i can record it in Audacity.

I can't do this in Vista cus the Mixer Toolbar input selector will be always be greyed out.

I cant find a way to Choose the input so i can record sound FROM the computer. It worked so well in XP

I have read A LOT of help manuals but None works for me.

When i click on Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O tab, in the "Recording Device" dropdown i cant choose anything else but the Mic.

Can someone please tell me HOW TO RECORD SOUND FROM THE COMPUTER??

kiggs,

this page from the Audacity Wiki should help you: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... s_Vista_OS

If you still can't get it to work then a possible solution would be to buy an external USB souncard and loop back the outputs to the inputs.
