    hmm, not sure what you mean. Do you mean, record things that are playing on the desktop? (output before it goes out)?

    I've used audicity to do this before. When recording, select "wave out". I use this to record audio from streaming radio, or youtube, ect. Im not sure if this is what you were looking for though.

    Tag, I use Goldwave and am having trouble recording "virtual output" as you mentioned.

    Yes, exactly what I mean. Also known as PC Sound. All programs to date only let me select microphone. Had same problems with dell before someone posted drivers from another manufacture.

    I find that if you can't see the input sliders, the software won't see them either. Maybe down the road we will get lucky?

    Odd, all my older laptops had this feature..DRM?

    Let me guess, it only lets you select the built in Mic or do you have other options?

    Thanks

    Yes, it claims that it only finds a "digital Mic".

    I'm using XP btw.
