Alternatives to Stereo Mix
There are a number of third-party applications available on the world wide web that can be used to record the computer’s audio output. 대담 is one of the most popular recorders for Windows with over 100M downloads. Modern systems that lack Stereo mix contain WASAPI (Windows Audio Session API) instead which captures audio digitally and thus, eliminates the need of converting the data to analog for playback (In layman’s terms, the recorded audio file will be of better quality). Simply download Audacity, choose WASAPI as the audio host, and set your headphones or speakers as the loopback device. Click on the Record button to start.
Few other good alternatives to Stereo mix are 보이스미터 및 어도비 오디션. Another very easy way to record the computer’s audio output is to use an aux cable (a cable with 3.5 mm jack on both ends.) Plug one end into the Microphone port (output) and the other into the mic port (input). Now you can use any basic recording application to record the audio.
