KingOfHeart Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Other then using a microphone, I can't figure out how to record sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyINS-zH38g That video will help you know my computer a bit better. I'm using a HP computer. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/210791-i-cant-record-sounds-off-the-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Maybe I'm missing something, but how does one record sound without a microphone? You clicking through a GUI in Windows doesn't really help much.

KingOfHeart Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Ever heard of wave out mix? A computer can record sounds without a microphone. I did it with my old computer easily.

Daniel0 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Oh yeah. Thought you wanted to record you speaking or something seeing as you mentioned microphones. Can't you just plug it into your computer and use a recording program like Audacity? What have you tried to do?

KingOfHeart Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Plug what in, a microphone? I don't want to use one, it's not clear enough.

KingOfHeart Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 My emulators, my game programs, etc. Not to be rude, but do you even know about these issues, otherwise please don't reply.

Daniel0 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Yes, I do. Not to be rude, but useless answers are a product of horribly asked questions. If you had just said what you actually wanted to do instead of having people try to guess it, you would probably have had a satisfactory answer by now. You said you didn't want to record from a microphone, but there are lots of other devices you can record from. Anyways, as far as I remember, you'll have to record from the "Stereo Mix" sound device. You can use a program like Audacity to do this. I don't have Windows handy, so I can't test it.

cs.punk Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 If your using Windows XP: control panel > sound and audio devices > audio (tab) > sound recording > volume (click on) > tick the 'Stereo Mix'. If 'Stereo Mix' does not show: click options (toolbar) > properties > and then tick the 'Stereo Mix' to show and do the above.. Hope that helped..

KingOfHeart Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ6wFA87QFs (Give it more time for more resolution options) After fooling around with combos, I managed to get my stereo mix to record but it's getting mixed with the speaker. So far I haven't found a way to fix it so I can record and keep it clear.

KingOfHeart Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I think the computer itself is the issue and HP never designed it to work well. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Terrible-sound-for-new-Windows-7-Computer-with-Realtek-HD-driver/m-p/145764/highlight/true I may have to settle for using a mic, or I have to install something to fix this.

KingOfHeart Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I found out that I don't need to install anything. By going in my control panel I managed to get my sound to record. I think I messed with HD Audio Manager. Anyways now I hear the sound. When I try recording my N64 I get a little static. but not just for the recording but I hear it live. What I'm saying is I can hear static while recording.

Garethp Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hm, well what I would have done is get an audio cable (male on both ends) for $5 or something, plug one end on your speaker out and the other end on your mic in. Though after a quick google search "recording your sound out" and clicking on the first link, I find this http://everything2.com/title/Recording+your+sound+card%2527s+output Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/210791-i-cant-record-sounds-off-the-computer/#findComment-1102526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfHeart Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 That article wouldn't of helped. Anyways any ideas on what I could try to get rid of some of this static?
