Trying to record internal sounds, no signal detected in Windows

[montenegrovic]

I've been trying to record internal sounds from my desktop (youtube, internet etc..) into a DAW (Reaper, Audacity)

I right click on the speaker icon at the bottom right of the screen on the taskbar. I click on 'Recording devices'. I right click on the list, and click 'show disabled devices'. I right click on the 'Rec. Playback' icon (IDT High definition audio codec), and I click 'Enable', and it is now the default device.

As I understand, this should now mean the computer is ready to record internal sounds. The first problem I see is that the signal bar next to the Rec. playback icon does not register any signal when I play a youtube video.
Please can somebody help me to crack this problem?

You (very probably) need to use 'Stereo Mix' as the recording source. The stock windows driver does not have this. Check if this > http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/271371-can-t-see-stereo-mix-dell-inspiron-7520-a.html can give you some hints.

Hi montenegrovic,

Welcome to Seven forums.

Please let us know the model of system and sound card installed in the system.

Kindly update your system specs here by following this.

Also, that option would be for built in mic to record and not for recording the videos and songs getting played online.

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.
