Re: [Audyssey] Recording PC sound output for things like podcasts/demo's etc. on windows7

2011-11-11 Thread Trouble
Ok, you have it right and using the right chose. You can also get to 
that option in control panel, sounds.
Now that you have the record side setup. You have to set the card 
doing the recording also to be the card doing the playing of the 
sounds you want. That is why you have no sound recorded. Make both 
the default and you should get your sound recorded. Now if you pick 
the card you want in jaws and the other card for default sounds. You 
won't get jaws in the recording.

OK, while I could just use an external microphone/device to record 
my computer's audio output, including surrounding sounds, maybe me

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.


Anyway, on this windows7 64 bit machine, I had to firstly go and 
make the stereo mix recording device show up, since it sort of gets 
hidden by windows7 itself - in start menu search box, I type in:

sound card

and then hit enter on change sound card settings.

Then in that dialogue box, I ctrl + tab to recording page, and in 
list of recording devices, it only showed microphone and audio line 
in - and this is linked to my PC's realtek sound card.


When I then invoked a right mouse click on that list, using the jaws 
cursor, on the context menu item there's a menu item saying 
something like show disabled devices, and then I could find a stereo 
mix device listing, and if I invoked it's properties, I could in 
fact enable it, make changes to it's volume levels, etc. etc.


However, even if I make it the default device - also from that 
dialogue, or specifically choose to use it in either audacity, or 
the 2 apps listed below, the sound files do have a file size, and a 
recorded time length, but are just silent..?


Most guys who've done something similar to this on windowsXP 
machines reckon the device would normally be called something like 
what you hear, but anyway - was just wondering if anyone had any 
ideas related to a feasible workaround for this type of issue, 
asides from actually recording the PC's output using an external 
device/unit/microphone placed in front of speakers, since it might 
be nice to be able to record demo's/tutorial material related to 
some things like this, without having to first connect external 
units/cables, etc. etc.


Lastly, those two bits of  software found/tracked down that let you 
sort of record directly to MP3 files - in theory anyway - and which 
while not perfectly accessible, are still relatively usable are the 
2 following ones:


Free MP3 sound recorder

Digital audio recorder

Ok, will try play around with setting default playback device to 
alternative, but, for anyone else out there, just be careful since when 
tried it first off just now, had to turn on narrator to then try reset it to 
prior setting to get eirther jaws or NVDA to work as such again, and 
narrator doesn't like that dialogue too much, so will have to play around 
with it carefully a bit until figure out if it works as such, etc.

Anybody heard of Virtual Audio Cable? That might work out. But how is 
this related to gaming? Are you trying to produce a play through of 
something?

Some thing like a audio playthrough of some games etc. would be one of the 
possible uses thereof, and while have heard people mention the virtual audio 
cable, haven't found a useful one as of yet.

I just tried a virtual audio cable, and it still wants to know which two 
devices to connect to each other, so still didn't help then trying to make 
use of the stereo mix input device if it has nothing attached to it in terms 
of actual audio content.
