Record Stereo Mix (mic+speakers) AND output ONLY speakers to headphone
Hi everyone,
I've been researching and pulling my hair out, and starting to think what I'm after is somehow not possible to achieve.
My goal is to be able to record my screen, my speakers, and my mic (narration), while also being able to playback ONLY my speakers to my headphones.
Basically, I wish to monitor ONLY the speaker audio, WITHOUT my mic (narration).
I thought I could achieve this by using Realtek HD Audio Manager, which allows you to playback two different audio streams simultaneously. However, it would seem that only certain Windows applications which are written to give you the option of changing the playback device can take advantage of this feature. The particular Windows application which I am recording does not give me that option.
So essentially I am wondering if there is a way to force an application to output to a particular playback device, ie. the Realtek HD Audio 2nd Output. The Realtek HD Audio 2nd Output would play to my headphones (application audio ONLY) while at the same time I would be able to record my screen, my speakers, and my mic all together at once.
I did find this post which broke my heart as it seems this might not be possible due to Windows only providing a single mixer, but wanted to try asking around here too -> Different audio output for certain programs [Solved] - Multimedia - Apps General Discussion
PC Info:
Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 (64 bit)
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 2.6Ghz
6GB RAM
Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6937
DirectX 11.0
Audio Controller HD Audio
Audio Codec ALC887
My recording software is Hypercam 2.0 which allows me to select a single recording audio device which is why I select Stereo Mix, because I can record everything all together and remove the need to edit them together after the fact.
Anything else you need to know, just ask.
Thanks!
Doug
