The Stop button is located to the right of the play button and contains a solid black square. You can also press the Spacebar on your keyboard to stop the recording.

Note: Restart Audacity if the program does not see your microphone - this issue is usually caused by launching Audacity before plugging in a microphone. From the dropdown list that appears, hover your cursor over the "Recording Device" option and then ensure the desired microphone is selected from the second dropdown list that appears. Then, open the program and click on the "Audio Setup" button near the top-middle of the window. If you have an external microphone, plug it into your computer before launching the Audacity program.Press the big red Record button in Audacity.Start playing the audio you want to record.In the fourth (Recording Channels) box in Device Toolbar, choose mono or stereo.For example, if you chose “Speakers” in Step 3, choose “Speakers (loopback)” in this step. In the third (Recording device) box in Device Toolbar, choose the (loopback) input for the same device you chose in step 3.In the second (Playback device) box in Device Toolbar, choose the Speakers or Headphones that you are using for listening.In the first (Host) box of Device Toolbar, choose “Windows WASAPI”.This allows you to record the web from other than the built-in audio device. If stereo mix won’t work, I suggest you do what it says on Audacity Manual and use Windows WASAPI host to record. The best audio drivers to have are usually the latest ones for your computer model supplied on the web site of your computer manufacturer, assuming you have a branded computer like Dell or HP. Windows Update “could” have changed the audio drivers for the worse, see Updating Sound Device Drivers. I assume you still have the Audacity input slider turned up.Īre you playing the audio you want to record on “Speakers (Realtek HD)”? If not, for example you plugged in a USB headset, that’s a separate audio device, so Realtek stereo mix can’t record from it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I’m completely stumped.Īny ideas on what my sudden problem might be? I really need to resolve this thing. I’ve read through the tutorial and FAQ, but see nothing that looks helpful in this situation because I don’t believe I’ve done anything to cause an issue so I’m leery of making massive changes to what should be working. The sound driver appears to be original (dated ). ![]() What’s weird is that it was working fine, I’ve changed nothing (though Windows did some security updates around the time it happened), and now suddenly it won’t record at all (not from the internet, nor from a program like VLC Player or Windows Media Player). In the Preferences: Recording dialog, Overdub, Software Playthrough, and Sound Activated recording are all unchecked, while. Within Audacity, Audio Host is set to “MME”, Playback Device is set to “Speakers (Realtek HD)”, Recording Device is set to “Stereo Mix (Realtek HD)”, and Recording Channels is set to “2 (stereo)”. I’m using Win 7 64-bit Home Premium SP1, Realtek HD Audio, and Stereo Mix is enabled (and marked as the default device) under Recording Devices. Nothing seems to be set wrong, but when I press Record with audio/video playing, I get no recording level indication and no audio track info (it straightlines). It continued to work fine till about a week ago, when it stopped recording completely. About a month ago I upgraded to 2.0.6 (from 2.0.4) w/o any problems. I’ve been using Audacity to record audio from the internet for about a year.
