Gale, thank you. This worked perfectly.Gale Andrews wrote:I would think the reason it doesn't work is that your playback device is Logitech speakers (is that a USB device?) and the stereo mix is the built-in sound device (IDT). Stereo Mix IDT can only record stereo mix from sounds playing on the IDT built-in sound device.
If you can't (or don't want to) use the IDT speakers device, then the "better way" is to choose WASAPI Host (not MME), Logitech Speakers for output, Logitech Speakers (loopback) for input, and set recording channels to stereo.
This is all explained in Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows - Audacity Manual .
