Cannot record off Youtube
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2012 12:06 pm
I am a registered user using 5.67. For years, I have used older version of Goldwave to digitize my LPs. But now, I am on on a different machine ( Dell Dimension 9200 Win 7 64bit) and am trying to record audio off youtube but no luck .. even after checkcing out some tutorials. Would appreciate any assistance.
I have no issue playing back through my line out to external speakers
I have nothing connected to line in ... just wanted to record off youtube. Is this the issue??? Do I need to run a cable from line out back to line in?? Or is it the machine that cannot record what I hear??
Under Control Panel, Sound,
- Under Playback, I see the meter going. Speakers (High Definiton Audio Device) is thr the default Device
- Under Recording, it tells me mic is not plugged in, and my defaut is Line In
Under Control Properties, Device, Record
- I have Primary Sound Capture selected.
- But when I run test is failts as is seee 'no signal detected'
- Same of course with Line in
Under Control Properties, Device, System
- I have tried Use Core Audio/WASAPI
- I have tried User Direct Sound AP
What are my next steps?
I tired downloading some "free software" solutions but they are all quite cumbersome, and install so much crap on the machine.
Perhaps the only solution here is to wait and hope that a future version of reliable GoldWave could simply record what I hear.... perhaps a future version would include the equivalent of the "free software" !!
