How to enable wave out recording in Windows Vista

For those of us that use our computers to record the live broadcasts here at 12160 have discovered that vista does not allow you to record from the sound card, or so we have been led to believe. But it turns out that is wrong!!! There is a simple solution and i will show you how to do it!!!

Be sure to read through these instructions thoroughly before starting!

  1. Select sound from the control panel. (another option is to right click the speaker icon in the task bar, then choose "Recording Devices.")
  2. Select the recording tab. (If you used the "right click" option the recording tab should already be selected)
  3. Right click on the background (that is, a blank spot) of the tab and choose "show disabled devices."
  4. Right click on Wave Out Mix and click enable. (note: my computer did not call it "wave out mix" it is called "Stereo Mix")
  5. Now it should work the same way as Wave Out Mix in Windows XP, allowing you to record any sound your computer makes.

Simple right? Of course if your having trouble still you can send me a message here through ning and i will try to help you out!

Good luck and happy recording.

Oh, and by the way.....maybe a member here on 12160 could start a computer 101 or the idiots guide to the computer for those of us here that are puter challenged. I know that I could definetely use some help from time to time figuring out this alien machine.

Thanks for the info Paul! Coming from a computer illiterate person like myself, these little tidbits come in handy.
