Any Utinity to Record Sounds Going to Sound Card?

[Talal Itani]

Hello,

I need to record the sounds that are played by my sound card. Digital
recording, without converting from analog to digital. Basically, anything
that goes to the sound card gets recorded. Is there a utility for this
task?

Thanks.

You might be able to do that with CD Wave Audio Editor. When recording, it
gives the opportunity to specify source so you might be successful.

There was a recent thread which mentioned a recording application
on this site. I haven't tried it, and don't know how well it works.

Using an SPDIF output from a sound card, is another way to stay
in the digital domain. You need to find an SPDIF input device,
to record what comes from the SPDIF output. On at least a few
motherboards, SPDIF input is busted and doesn't work.

Here are some links which may be relevant to recording via
SPDIF. SPDIF has a copy flag, but I don't know under what
circumstances it is set, or whether recording devices/applications
pay attention to it or not.

Try Audacity;

Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for
Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.

I use Super Sound Recorder, it does what you want. It records the sounds that are played by my sound card.
Give it a look.

As in avoiding DRM? For your USB drive project? This is getting tedious.
Either say what you mean, or don't post. If your goal happens to be
illegal, then posting in microsoft.public.* newsgroups in probably not a
good idea.
