  1. I never realised Audacity could record from "Stereo Mix"!
    Unfortunately, my HP w2207h monitor with built-in speakers does not enable me to do this because of a pact with copyright laws.

    Still, it is excellent knowledge.
    The miracles of open source software!

  5. Hi - My drop down menu is inactive too. I may have inadvertently made a change in preferences, but can't determine that. Any advice?

    Thanks, David

  6. Lmao this is retarded. At least freaking make a tutorial and not just a print screen. I don't even have the bar that's highlighted.

    I'm also having problems recording from my computer on 3 or 4 different programs - I only have microphone(high quality audio device) microphone- line in and line in sound drivers, so I don't know how to record from my computer.

  8. i think its because of Windows 7 or Vista hiding the Stereo Mix option , go here to learn how to enable it ,http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel.
    After doing this in audacity 1.3.1 , Stereo mix showed up in 3rd drop down from left .
    From left it reads in my dropdowns MME,Microsoft Sound Mapper , Stereo Mix , this works well.
