![]() But it probably wouldn’t be of much use to me, since I wouldn’t use DirectSound because of the noise. I haven’t, neither the speakers nor the microphone. In any case if you choose Windows DirectSound host in Audacity and have both Exclusive Mode boxes checked, the Windows Default Format settings are disregarded in favour of the Audacity settings. So do you now have both “Exclusive Mode” boxes checked? The soundcard is fine, I just get some noise when I record in MME and DirectSound mode. I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 that uses an ALC887 soundcard. I’m ‘afraid’ my drivers are fine and up to date. Well, there may be some reason stereo mix is poor quality - perhaps you do not have the correct drivers for the device Then click the “Advanced” tab and try unchecking both “Exclusive Mode” boxes if they are checked. Right-click over the playback device you use, then choose “Properties”. Right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose “Playback Devices”. This wouldn’t be a problem with for example Windows Media Player. If Kontakt requires to take exclusive control of the audio device for playback, Audacity won’t be able to record from it under WASAPI. WASAPI loopback can only run if the device playing the audio is in shared mode. Look in the Transport Menu and make sure “Overdub” is checked (ticked). In Audacity, Generate > Tone… and accept the defaults. ![]() What input options are there when you choose WASAPI? You are supposed to see input (loopback) options for each device that appears in the output section of Device Toolbar. Also, I think I’m supposed to see all kinds op “loopback” options in the input droplist, but I don’t see anything related to that. In Audacity, when I set the audio device to WASAPI, it doesn’t start recording, and when I run Kontakt and the same time, it throws up the “error while opening sound device” error. I tried SoundLech but it doesn’t create any recording file. So I can still record even if I turn the Master volume slider down to zero and so cannot hear any audio that is playing. On my Windows 7 machine WASAPI records at a fixed level irrespective of the output level (like SoundLeech). You should be able to make recordings with SoundLeech without having to hear them (if you can get SoundLeech to work). Have you tried recording with SoundLeech or Audacity’s Windows WASAPI streaming recorder (see the Tutorial link I gave you). What is it you want to hear (as well as stereo mix) that stereo mix is drowning out?ĭo your headphones have a volume control? Windows XP had separate Wave and Master output sliders so you could make stereo mix recordings without having to hear them. ![]() Turn the output down and you will have a silent stereo mix recording on Windows Vista and later. ![]() The achieved level of stereo mix recording and the output level depend on each other. I have to use an external device to control the volume while, ideally, I’d like to have seperate volumes for “Stereo Mix” and the headphones output. ![]()
