Audacity and Widows Vista

species8350

Audacity appears not to be able to record under Windows Vista Home
Premium (32 bit).

Has anyone found a good free programme that will record under Vista

I'd like to record music from radio programmes over the Net.

Thanks

I use the combination of Streamtuner and XMMs under Ubuntu Linux
[www.ubuntu.com]. Unfortunately, you need Linux to use them. They work
great, turning songs into mp3s and cutting out the commercials with
hundreds of radio stations to choose from. It also arranges your
recordings in Folders with the radio station as the name with individual
folders inside for each artist you record, regardless of when you record
the artist. Spiffy programs. Just won't work on a DRM riddled Vista
installation. It appears Audacity doesn't either.

Well, you get what you pay for.

What version are you using? According to the download page
(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows) version 1.2.6 is Vista
compatible. Since you cannot get it to work with Vista perhaps you can find
an Audacity forum to get assistance? Since this is more of an OS forum I
don't if anyone here happens to use it or not. Hopefully you will receive
some assistance!

Hi,

I am trying with an Audacity forum. But a lot of people there appear
to be having problems. I posted here in the hope that a Vista user may
be using Audacity, and have solved the problem.

best wishes.

Just a thought, do you have "Stereo Mix" enabled? Go to Control Panel |
Classic View | Sound | Recording Tab and check in there

If species8350's sound card does not allow Stereo Mix, I guess he is out of
luck. Either have to record to cassette and record to computer via line in,
or buy another sound card that gives this option.

My Vista box has a Realtek HD, wired into the MB which doesn't have this
option. My old WinME box's soundcard was wired into the MB. When it went
toes up, I bought a Creative 24 Bit, Model SB0410. This has the Stereo Mix
option. Am thinking of disabling the Realtek card, and putting in the
Creative card, but then I would lose other useful facilities like the front
sockets etc.+

My built-in Realtek HD audio adapter has "Stereo Mix".

Have you right clicked on the Recording Devices window and selected both Show
Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices?

Do you have v. 1.67 of the Realtek drivers?

I have had the same problem. Most sound cards do not allow system mix
recording under Vista. This means that it is no longer possible to record
streamed audio as it plays. I have overcome the problem by using RMRecorder
and WMRecorder from Applian. These download streamed Real Media and streamed
Windows Media files from source. (They also work for streamed video).
Applian also make a program called Replay Converter which converts the
downloaded files into MP3s etc (and the video into AVIs etc). I'm afraid
these programs all cost money but they work well in Vista.

I have also found that Magix Webradio Deluxe 2 also works in Vista and
allows you to record web radio programs.

Aplplian's Replay Radio does not work in Vista.

Hi Cal Bear '66

No such options :-{ Going into Realtek HD Audio Manager; No button for
Recording device. Going into Device advanced settings/recording mgr, get the
options to tie all input devices (line in, microphone) or separate all input
jacks. According to Device manager, driver is 6.0.1.5413. BTW my box is 1
1/2 months old. Must be a different Realtek HD device. Will contact PB forum
and see if there is any guidance there.

Right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar, select
Recording Devices, right click on Recording Devices window, select both Show
Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices and "Stereo Mix" should be there.
Or go to Control Panel > Sound and click on Recording Devices.

In Device Manager my driver version is 6.0.1.5397.

Why don't you install the latest drivers from Realtek (only one HD driver is
available)?
