If your referencing the sound tap program I mentioned, there is a checkbox that will allow you to use your mic as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Recording PC sound output for thingslikepodcasts/demo's etc. on windows7
wish I had a volume's tab. I'll check out that program you provided and see what it does. I'd actually be willing to pay for the thing if it meant all my troubles will be over. - Original Message - From: "john" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 10:19 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Recording PC sound output for thingslikepodcasts/demo's etc. on windows7 Right, here goes. Under the property page for stereo mix, head to the volume tab and make sure the device isn't muted. Also turn the volume on stereo mix up *all* the way. You may be able to find this under system tray, speakers/headphones. If this doesn't work, a totally accessable piece of software which will allow you to record soundcard and microphone (though with a 15 day trial) is sound tap from www.nchsoftware.com. - Original Message - From: "Jacob Kruger" Subject: [Audyssey] Recording PC sound output for things likepodcasts/demo's etc. on windows7 OK, while I could just use an external microphone/device to record my computer's audio output, including surrounding sounds, maybe me talking etc., etc., while using my current primary windows7 ultimate 64 bit primary machine, on machines like windows XP, it seemed you could easily enough, sometimes use either a sort of virtual audio recording device called stereo mix, or one called what you hear, and then using something like either audacity, or 2 other recording apps have gotten hold of - see below - record just the computers actual audio output, including screenreader voices, a bit more cleanly.

hmmm that resource would help a good deal. I have 10 people interested which means once again we may have enough to start something. It sounds like the sound issue will only get worse though.
