Recording audio from computer



Hi, I'm trying to record sounds from my computer. I had no trouble when I did this with XP, but since upgrading, I'm at a loss for what to do. I've looked online and the only thing I haven't yet tried of the suggestions (reloading/updating/installing new driver, use adio recording programs like audacity, etc.) I've found is to buy a new soundcard. Is there a way around it (as my soundcard is fine as it is and I can't afford to buy a new card)?
Have you tried enabling the Stero Mix function in the Sound options within Control Panel? I'm assuming you are using Windows 7 here, so go into Sound and the the tab that says Recording. Right click and choose "Show Disabled Devices". Then right click on the option that says Stero Mix and choose Enable.  

From there download Audacity for free from the internet (or alternatively use whatever program you currently use) and start recording from any source playing from your computer.
well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. someone had the same problem before but they miss out the new windows update permissions for the microphone so try going to the settings > privacy and go to the microphone section and try turning on also the "allows apps to use microphone" under the 1st microphone access option for device.. so basically just try to turn both permissions on and see if that works. fax modems were developed decades ago. their design makes use of the fact that fax signals are merely audio tones sent along a normal telephone line, so re-designing a regular data modem to also be able to send faxes using the same phone capabilities was relatively simple.

these days you can buy a data modem either as an external box that connects to your computer via a port and cable, or as a card you can install in a pci or pcie slot. then you connect it to a phone line. becasue the addition of fax capabilites became so easy and commonplace, almost all data modems actually include that feature and are sold as fax modems. the drivers supplied with them allow your computer to use either type of service. many people do not install one of these because they have no intention of using a modem on a phone line - they prefer much faster data rates available by connections though the internet. so, unless they need fax abilities, nobody uses them anymore.

your interest seems to be mainly sending (and receiving?) faxes, and perhaps not even trying to use a data modem. current versions of windows make this really easy - you will not use your old winfax pro. windows includes all the tools you need to receive faxes in various ways, depending on whether you want your machine to always watch for incoming faxes, or only when you turn on the feature. for sending a fax it's even easier. windows always includes a system that makes a fax sending unit appear to be just another printer. you can "print" to that printer just as any other. when you do that, a window pops up to let you set a few parameters and then its sends the fax for you. it even includes a little utility to keep track of fax numbers that you can send to.

i used a fax modem infrequently on my last machine, and i really liked it. for one thing, the fax the recipient gets is really clean and readable, with no distortions or dirt specs caused by scanning. (actually, you can scan a document and then "print" it as a fax you send to someone.) but i used it rarely, and in my new machine there is no spare pci slot for the fax modem, so i never moved my old one to the new computer. motherboard - optical s/pdif out port(s) at back panel
dvd player - appears to have no audio input
speakers - do they have an s/pdif input?

so it appears you don't have the right things to connect to the other right things.

thanks for prompt reply,
ok leave the dvd aside and tell me that can't my mother board act as an amplifier or receiver as my mother board is new and it has the best inbuilt realtek® alc892 8-channel sound card?
one more thing tell me a best solution to make 5.1 surround system with these speakers.

the motherboard audio does not have an amplifier in it to drive speakers, the speakers have the amp in them. and that motherboard is capable of 5.1 sound, it's an 8-channel sound card in fact. what exactly are you having issues with? read the manual to the motherboard and the speakers, between those it should tell you what you need to do.

Click on the below hyperlink "Download" and download the file 
  

  
**Download**
  

  
First backup your registry by following the below instruction

"Registry Editor" will be opened. Click on File --> Export 
  

  
Now extract the downloaded file --> Double click on that file --> Click on "Yes" 
  

  
Now restart your PC 
  

  
Good Luck Your card is ok. There is interference between the router and your computer.  

  

1. The router or the PC may be "hidden" behind a metal cabinet, refrigerator, etc.  

2. Move router higher  

3. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones (not cellphones) that use 2.4GHz will interfere with the 2.4GHz WiFi signal.  

4. Point the router antennas in-line with the direction of the PC.  

5. Move the router closer to the PC. Hello,
  
Maybe this trick will help you :

Best regards first try testing your RAM (goldmemory or memtest)
  

  
if the memory pass the tests try reparing your xp, if repair doesn't pass from any reason, pull your HD take it to your friend, back up the data, and reinstall OS clean the floppy disk drive then try again. anywho, since it's me, i would've backed up those contents to a cd/dvd or portable drive already so no problem. You can use third party defragmentation tools that have central management consoles to manage the tools, monitor systems and report on fragmentation levels. These tools have the ability to start defragmentation based on a schedule or a fragmentation threshold level (tool dependent). What they also do well is provide reporting on how things are going on the systems you monitor fragmentation wise.


Here is a comparison page for some of the major defragmentation applications:  

[Comparison of defragmentation software](http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_defragmentation_software)


The big three from when I did some research several years ago:  

PerfectDisk  

O&O Defrag  

Diskeeper


Keep in mind that Windows includes basic defragmentation. You can schedule this using TaskSchedule. Basic defragmentation does not defragment page files, hyberfiles and the like. There are some other free tools available that can do various items like page files. This all requires you to piece together and and devise your own monitoring. If you need reporting and monitoring purchasing it is always simpler.


If you can justify the cost of a managed defragmentation program, these will all do a good job. Test each to see how they impact system performance in your environment while defragmenting as well as their management and reporting capabilities.


  

First, don’t wait for your hard disk drive to be hardly used before defragging it. You have to maintain a certain defragmentation period as part of the computer hardware maintenance for your computer system.
