WASAPI is the sound coming out of the computer speakers.
WASAPI recordings only begin if there is sound to record, (it stops if there is silence).

THANKS for the reply but it hardly tells me what to do to get internal recording

pity in audacity there is not a simple box to click to get onto internal recording

In the end I downloaded… free pc audio recorder… looks like a pretty basic

bit of kit… in settings you tick a box for either microphone or internal recording

got onto internal recording and got the perfect audio result … no sign of any hiss !
