stereo mix doesnt catch sound

[sistemx]

ok, i am trying to get sounds directly from comuter the weird thing is that.... when i open a sound recorder program it just have 2 options, microphone and stereo mix, when i put stereo mix it just dont record nothing, it is blank...

there is any way for me to record sounds in win 7?

thank you.

there is a vid below that i created. so you can understand it better, (the microphone doesnt have sound cux it is desactivated, so it cant catch what speakers are saying )



i have toshiba laptop, that might be somthing usefull.

Hi sistemx and welcome to Windows 7 Forums

Check to see that it isn't muted.

Does the speaker symbol look like this (MUTED) or (ENABLED) ?

What sound recorder program are you using?

 

[sistemx]

well

What sound recorder program are you using?

it actually works with isound for windows 7 without stereo mix and that stuff (the trial version only let you 100 seconds..) , im trying to use audacity, but somehow it doesnt work.... and the oddest thing is that camtasia studio does record the sound if it is recording video.. BUT it lags, and when I try it to record sound only in camtasia it doesnt work..

well i would like a program that can record unlimited, even on trial version, or a free software program

or just fix that stereo mix

I was able to record in Audacity by setting the preferences as follows.....



Are your settings the same?

Have you tried disabling the microphone and try to record sounds on your PC with the Stereo Mix enabled?

that dont seems to work.. and i can't disconnect microphone cuz im on laptop...

anyway i pluged in headphones and that still didnt worked...

I only need to record sounds... the only way i can do it right now is recording a video on camtasia studio, then get the sound of the video....

or just using another computer but that is like giving up...
