Mine doesn’t even show Line-In under Volume Control. But that SigmaTel is a very restricted gizmo. The post above is correct–it’s Stereo Mix that you want to record onto Audacity. Which leads me to believe Audacity could do it too, if you could find the magical combination of settings. I’m not quite sure how Total Recorder gets the audio, because I had to go through Total Recorder’s own wizard to find the audio, but it works. The $18 is for use forever, complete with annual upgrades. Try the trial version and see if it would work for you. It turns out that I have a SigmaTel in one of my computers and Total Recorder ($18) does record streaming audio or whatever else is going through the soundcard. (I got one for $12 on eBay.) The v2 that replaced it is white with one flat side. Since no one quite knows what it is, you can often find them for under $20 on eBay–especially the v1 (gray, round), which is ergonomically dopey but works fine. And despite the i-prefix and design, it’s not Mac-only–it’s standard USB. It’s not a mic, it’s a USB soundcard with line and mic inputs and outputs. You might also check out the Griffin iMic which has a stupid name. It seems to have had no development in a few years, but still works at least on XP ( Outboard sound cards aren’t that expensive. There’s also a program “radio ripper” which can save mp3 internet streams (shoutcast etc) directly to disk so you don’t have to save or edit as. ![]() Hopefully even if your audio chip is different, this is enough for you to find your way to the recording mixer. To record whatever’s playing on your computer, select “Wave Out” To record from your stereo (ie to rip vinyl records), select “Line In” and set your volume slider! If you don’t have a “line in” jack, try Microphone or Aux. FINALLY I get the recording mixer panel.Select “Recording”, You get choices what inputs show on the mixer, make sure “Line In” is checked. ![]() Properties panel lets you select the mixer device (likely only one choice, mine is “SoundMAX Digital Audio”). Select “Properties” from the Options pull down menu. On the Sounds and Audio Devices" panel, click on “Advanced” That shoud pop up a panel titled “Volume Control” with a bunch of sliders. The record mixer is buried in submenus, but here’s how I do it:Ĭlick “Sounds and Audio Devices” in your control panel (might also be left-click on speaker icon in system tray) ![]() Then, on the Recording tab, enabled Stereo Mix, and set it as my Default Device, while leaving the Microphone as my Default Communications Device. (I acknowledge that this may not be the right forum page, but it’s where I come all the time and where the good guys hang) To reset this, I started the Sound (control window) from Control Panel. My sense is that the “integrated” sound card does not offer the possibility of recording “off the sound card”. The recording ters show zero regardless of what I try. In Audacity/Edit/Preferences> Aidio I/O tab: None seem to enable recording “off the sound card” This also gives the same dialoge box and options as described above. In the Audio tab, sound Record and Playback: I have only two options:ġ Sigma Tel Audio (this must be the “integrated” sound card on the motherboard.) (?) XP volume control properties give the diagloge box labeled: Sounds & Audio Devices Properties
