Line In is the stereo input; Stereo Mix is sound output. (It seems to be a physical connection though, at least in my case, so you won't get any better sound quality than if you just connected the output right to the input.  ) Also, Audacity pwns quite a bit. |

Thanks for the help there. Back when I used Windows 98 a lot, I could choose Line-In and it would record my computer's sound.
Just so you know, on my PC (maybe all Windows XP machines) Mixer is called Stereo Mix. |

Whatever the far left is in your recording setting, most times you'll be dealing with 'Mixer' and you'll want to highlight the Select box.
As for programs, Google for Goldwave. That's a lot better than your dinky Sound Recorder. |

Line-in should be one of the input plugs in the sound card (with line-out and microphone), like a radio/TV/whatever's sound plugged into the computer, not the computer's sound 
Here, what you're looking for in the volume controls (for recording) is called "Mixer" (other options I have are CD, line-in and microphone), but I've seen it under different names as well, like "What U Hear" (yes, "U"  ) ... |

have you checked to see if the recording properities is set to use Line in? You can check it by going to Volume Control, go into Options->Properties, select Recording. Then verify that line in is selected as where you want recording to come from. |

Well, Sound Recorder on my XP computer can't record the computer's sound from the sound card. (I tried setting to Line-In like I did in Win98 and it picked nothing up!) so I need a FREE program that can record my sound on the computer (as in, not the microphone, but the sound card)
Anyone know of one? |
