In the meantime the patch cord solution should help out.Windows asks if what I am plugging in is a headphone or "speaker out". I don't have the link on hand but will post as soon as I find it (it's on my laptop at home and I'm at work). I found another "fix" in the form of a driver someone developed for RealTek sound cards that adds the "internal" playback as a recording source as well as mic/line in. You could try a "splitter" at the speaker out so you could plug in headsets as well as the patch cord. Only problem is you can't monitor the playback since when you plug the patch cord into the speaker out it mutes the computer's speakers. YOu should be able to record the audio now. Now open Audacity and play the audio file from a file (in Windows Media Player or other player) or from its web source and start Recording in Audacity. If asked for the type of source, choose "Line". Then plug the cable into the Speaker Out and into the "MIC/LINE" input on the computer. You can't choose Mix, Wave, What You Hear or Aux as the source (which is where audio playing back on a computer is coming from) so you can't record from these sources.Īn easy fix is to go to Radio Shack and buy a 1/4" stereo to 1/4" stereo patch cable. RealTek sound cards don't support recording inputs other than Line or mic in (in other words, only "external" sound sources).
