How about telling us what Roxio software you have.....be specific.

 

Thats a function of your sound card. What O/S are you using?, and what type of sound card/chip is installed.

Go into your BIOS settings and check to see if you have the "Realtek High Definition Audio" enabled. If you are running a dedicated sound card, then disable this setting. If you ARE using the Realtek HD Audio the make sure it's enabled and also check to see if what type it's set to and that you are actually plugged into the correct audio port that is on your MB.

With that information, you do not have a sound card, you have an audio chip. The best suggestion, if you have a desktop is to install an inexpensive audio card around $30 and about 5 minutes of installation. These are examples and are not intended to recommend any particular site or card. Look at signatures of some of the gurus to see what they use. Check your computer to make sure that you have an open slot if if it is pci or other. Also make sure that the card will play both 16 bit and 32 bit. M-Audio cards do not. All the Creative I know of do. The audio portions of Creator 2011 seems to use 16 bit only.

 

Once more - are you saying that you can hear the internet audio what you want to capture and the program seems to capture the audio with the changes you made. You seem to indicate that that is correct but that when you go to open the captured file, it doesn't play. Did you look to see the size of the captured file? Is it zero bites? What program are you using to play the audio?

 

Sometimes if you use an audio card for capture, then Windows resets the playback device. Did you double check to make sure your playback device is enabled?

 

Forgive me but I don't have any indication that you are computer proficient so this may be too basic for you. Open the audio capture part of the program you are using. Right click on the speaker icon on the lower right of your screen. You should see the program in "mixer". Make sure the speaker under the program is NOT muted and the volume is up.

 

 

Again right click and select playback device. Make sure the one you use is the default device and it is enabled.

 

 

Although you said that you are capturing, W7 should look like this. Make sure the right capture device it is enabled and that the volume control is high enough. You need to increase this and the one in the program to get enough volume. In the program, the blue bars should be just touching the gray vertical bar in the volume control. It is OK to bounce past that every once in a while.

 

 

Of course, yours should look different since I have a card and you just have a chip.

 

Don't drop the "20" use the full name Creator 2011 to prevent confusion with other programs. The amount of effort to do that and the amount of electrons are minuscule. I used much more to reply to your posts.

I'm using an onboard chip for my sound.It's a VIA chipset on an ASUS motherboard.

 

In the control panel set Playback to Speakers.

Set record to Stereo Mix if you have it.

 

Not having the Realtek chip I can't know exactly what you have in the mixer but make sure that they are set there also.

Thanks for all of your input! I am slow but I finally figured out what works. I opened the sound properties/record and right clicked, got the menu and picked the show disabled devices. There is a stereo mix that I enabled am now able to capture audio from any source that is playing audio...thanks for your patience with me! Am very happy now!!!!

I found that by setting the digital output as default, the soundbars did show sound, but nothing from the speakers. By using the auto sound level and then starting the record, it will record whatever it hears. After your recording has finished, it can be edited with the Edit and transfer programs as normal.
