Interesting - so how exactly did you manage to record sound playing on the computer with MME? Was your USB mic plugged in? Does your computer have a built-in mic? Does the Windows Sound settings offer a "Stereo Mix" option?

Re: recording streamed music using Audacity
no Steve, didnt have the mic in.....think its recording via a webcam. i'. really trying to figure out how to get the WASAPI working again...........
Re: recording streamed music using Audacity
That's strange, because I don't see a webcam listed in the Audio Device Info. Did you disconnect the webcam at some point?
"Again"? As in; "again on this computer", or as in "like I did on my old computer"?
There's something peculiar with your computer, otherwise it would work like it does for (almost) everyone else. The tricky part is working out what is peculiar about it, which is why I'm asking for clear and detailed information.
