Hello David: Yes, some sound cards allow you to enable Stereo Mix, but some do not, my Realtech, for instance, does not. I have recorded tutorials with Gold Wave and with Total Recorder, the latter more complicated to configure than the former, but I use it for Skype calls, prefer it to MX Skype Recorder.
The beauty of Virtual Recorder, besides the price, that is free, is the simplicity of use, something very desirable for us who have about 80 presenters and colaborators, with different degrees of computer skills. Absolutely anyone can use Virtual Recorder and record their voice and Jaws at the same time, as well as Skype calls, with good enough quality. Besides being simple, it is totally accessible with Jaws and am sure, also with other screen readers.

I have been using gold wave for almost 11 years already and what really helped me out on windows 7 was when I found out how to reveal the what you hear feature that is still available in many sound cards but Microsoft has chosen to hide that by default. That is why when I make a recording you hear me and JAWS at the same time. I admit levels can sometimes be an issue, but that just takes a little fiddling with the master volume control in the hope of getting them more or less equal.

Virtual Recorder is a totally Jaws-accessible recorder that enables us to record tutorials, streams, Skype conversations, etc., created by Carlos Nazario, seemingly of New York City. Cuong has recently provided us also with his program to easily install Jaws scripts, another very useful tool, but this Virtual Recorder is something we have much needed since Win 7. I am a long-time, totally blind Jaws user, running an internet radio station, international in scope, so I record through Skype almost daily; I use Total Recorder to do it, but it is a rather complex program, not free and hard for some of our presenters and collaborators to use, therefore Virtual Recorder is very welcome. My thanks to Cuong and to Carlos.
