Hi Guys,
I found that I got much higher quality recordings with the wasapi/loop-back
method over the Stereo Mix method. Also, there is no recording level setting
with the loopback. Just my observations. Brian, play around with both and see
what you think.

Hi Brian
For reason or reasons unknown, neither my notebook or desktop support loopback.
If yours is the same or if you want a simple solution Ted’s suggestion is
effective. The complication is that stereo mix is usually disabled by default.
As Ted said, easier explained by phone, but I can give you a step by step
process if you want. In brief, go to sound settings and, under the record tab,
enable stereo mix.
As Steve mentioned, you will get the screen reader’s speech unless you turn it
off (NVDA-s is your friendly toggle).
Ideally you would use a mixer of some sort, but that requires money and
research (not in that order). That way you can, as Steve said, separate the
screen reader from the internet material.
In summary, stereo mix will do the trick if no other options are available.

Hi all, I want to record from a stream on the Internet into Audacity. Is this
possible? Is there a setting within Audacity or somewhere within the window
setting that I need to change to enable this?
Brian
