Clementine rain sounds

[bigseb]

I really like the Clementine music player. It has a very cool feature where if no music plays then it plays rain/storm sounds. This it gets off the net so obviously that only plays if I am connected. However this does use up a lot of my valuable bandwidth...

So to my question: is it somehow possible to record this while it is playing? Then I can just play it back later on.

Hello bigseb,

You might see if you may be able to use Sound Recorder after enabling record what u hear to do so.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Brink, I'll give that a go...

 

[bigseb]

It worked!

+1 for you!

 

[Brink]

Great news.

 

[bigseb]

Tried the method again but now when I do step 3 in the linked tutorial (show disabled devices) nothing else shows. How do I fix this?

 

[Brink]

Hey Sebastian,

Do you already have your audio and video drivers installed?

 

[bigseb]

Video yes. Audio... uhm... not sure...

 

[Brink]

Ooops.

 

[bigseb]

Ok I downloaded the realtek drivers from the realtek website but when I tried to install them I kept getting the error message about the driver signature not being verified and it wouldn't install (Yes I was 'running as administrator'). Any ideas?

 

[Brink]

Was it the 2.73 version?

Realtek

 

[bigseb]

Done but it still doesn't show. Now I get this...

 

[Brink]

Well, it's a first step I suppose.

How do you have your audio connected?

 

[bigseb]

Audio connected? I want a snippet of something that is playing, like before...

Forgive me for jumping in, but I may have a work-around. If your goal is to learn more about using your computer's audio, I know you will learn a great deal from continuing with Brink. OTOH, if you simply want to listen to nice rain sounds in the meantime, you can find some at

If any/all appeal to you, click on the "Export to File" button, and the sounds will be generated for download. You will end up with an .ogg file in the location of your choice. I'm sure there are many players that can handle this file type, but I used the free IrfanView.

Your recording devices show that you don't have anything connected.

Do you have a microphone or webcam connected with it's drivers installed?

 

[bigseb]

No.

Edit: nothing has changed since the last time I did this. I just reinstalled the OS at some point. Beyond that my setup is the same as before...

I get it that you want to record what's playing 'inside' the pc, can't you right click 'Stereo Mix' and choose enable? btw, when you outgrow window's own recorder, try Audacity.

 

[bigseb]

Looks like I'll have to go the Audacity route. Can't for the life of me figure out why this is not working...

1st of all, Stereo Mix needs to be set active (& if all is well the bargraph will show the signal playing\streaming on the soundcard).
