Re: the recording in windows wasapi wont work
Is there an application playing?
Unlike other "host" sound systems, WASAPI loopback won't record unless there is an active audio stream - "something" has to be producing an active playback stream.

Re: the recording in windows wasapi wont work
So if the green bars on the recording meter https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/meter_toolbar.html are moving, perhaps you have turned on Sound Activated Recording. Check Transport>Transport Options>Sound Activated Recording. If it is checked it has been turned on. Also, see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/rec ... m%20below).
I hope this helps.

Re: the recording in windows wasapi wont work
There may not be. Audacity gets stuck like that when it's expecting audio data to show up...and it doesn't. You can have that condition if the sound source or music supply is expecting a "go" signal and it never gets one. All this is assuming the music supplier isn't actively fighting you.ofcourse there is activate playback stream
Recording internet sound or productions doesn't always go well.

Skype or Zoom users can run into this. The poster didn't say what the show was or where it came from. So we're guessing.All this is assuming the music supplier isn't actively fighting you.
