With the Behringer UCA 202 you can link the (line level) outputs to the (line level) inputs. The headphone socket is still available so you can plug headphone in to listen to what is being recorded.caponsacchi wrote: Previously, I found the quickest, and still satisfactory, solution for recording sound from my computer was a patchcord linking the audio input to the headphones jack on the back of my iMac. I'm wondering if there's any interface that would permit a similar quick and handy way of capturing computer audio.

The software solution is Soundflower. Have a look at this page: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tuto ... ack_on_Maccaponsacchi wrote:I'm wondering if there's any interface that would permit a similar quick and handy way of capturing computer audio.

For Mac self-recording, you can use the SoundFlower software.

You don't need the mechanical patch cords. And yes, the UCA-202 counts as both Stereo Line-In and Stereo Line-Out. It can take the place of the older compatible Mac connections, and it has its own headphone connection.

The Mac usually adds the UCA202 to the list of audio connections in Apple > System Preferences > Sound. It may not say that. It may say "USB Audo Device" which will be clear unless you have multiple audio devices.
