Can you record streaming audio in SF?
If so, how?

Thanks,
Jim

SF6

Does this mean SF6 will and SF9 will not record streaming audio?

Thanks,
Jim

The version shouldn't matter. If you're using a typical consumer-grade sound card there should be a setting in the sound card's mixer control panel to record "What U Hear" or "PC Output" or "Stereo Mix" or something like that. Select that, and then Sound Forge can record anything you can hear from your computer speakers.

If you're using a professional audio interface then you may have to physically route an output back into an input channel.

I am still not getting in audio into SF. The mixer shows the SF Icon, I have changed the sound device to everything shown but still no audio.

Any ideas?

Jim

Are you looking at the windows mixer control for your sound card? Double-click the speaker icon in the task bar, choose options / properties / recording. In that mixer choose the output channel as the recording input.

When clicking on the speaker icon, there are no options like that, just the faders and the option to choose a device like digital.

I am using Vista.

When I go into device manager and sounds the recording tab says no audio device is installed, but it is playing back.

Some sound cards require something to be plugged into the mic or line in port in order for those ports to show up as a recording device.

My sound card doesn't have the "What-U-Hear" option so if I have need for something like this I just physically connect the line-out to the line-in and record that way. It might not be the prettiest option but it works.

In Vista the What U Hear option can be disabled, probably because of some imagined DRM thing.

On some sound devices it can be re-enabled.

Start with this thread and see where it gets you.

There are other places with pretty much the same info if you do a Google search.
