Can't start recording, the cursor stuck at 0:00

[VPufin]

Hi there, I can't start recording and plz help me with it.

I am trying to record some audio that comes out of my computer but the cursor stuck at 0:00, as shown in the attached figure.
The output device is selected to be a monitor because my monitor do has an audio output, and my speaker is indeed plugged to the it. I've checked the online manual and most of the similar posts here but still can't fix it. Overdub unchecked, sound activated recording unchecked as well, it just doesn't work.

Please help, thanks.

Is anything playing through the "PHL 276E8V" device?

Hi Steve,

Yes I'm pretty sure my audio is coming out from this device as my speaker is connected to it.

What is the "PHL 276E8V"?
I can't find any "audio devices" with that number. Is it a Philips monitor screen?

Yes, like I said in the main post, this is the monitor I am using and there's an audio output on it. BTW I've tried using Stereo Mix but it did not work. I could start recording with Stereo Mix enabled and selected but it did not pick any signals.

Sorry, I missed that first time around.
I'm not sure that will be possible. I've never seen a monitor being used for recording.
I can playback through my HMI Display, but there's no way to record from it (it's an output only device).

Does your computer have a normal built-in sound card?
Have you tried using that instead of the monitor?

Hi Steve,

I do have a sound card, but I can't start recording with it either. See attached screenshots. I have no idea how to make it work.

To record with WASAPI loopback, there needs to be something playing through the audio device that you are using.

Hi Steve,
I am playing something but it does not work. It shows "recording" with the cursor stuck at 0:00. See attached screenshot.

As I suggested previously, try using the computer's built in sound card rather than the monitor display.
