Recording output sound

2007-11-27 Thread Glen Bojsza
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to directly record the audio that is being played out through a computer's speaker system? An example would be from a WEBEX session or from a CNN news video. I know you can have the computer's microphone record it as an input but then any added background

Couldn't you just connect a simple cable from the speaker output jack to the microphone input jack? A couple of bucks at Radio Shack should cover it. If you wanted to get fancy you could make a simple cable that would have 2 plugs and one jack so you could still listen to the speakers while

With all due respect, the output to input cable method is full of pitfalls, like level control, quality, monitoring switching, and possible screeching feedback loops. Does one know the pinouts for sure? Is it three conductors or four? What is the level out, what is the level in? For the time
