If you will try to function waveout recording with Windows Vista, you won't see any option for Wave Out Mix. It does not mean that the option is been left out of Vista, Microsoft has just decided to hide it.
However, if you want to perform this functionality in Windows Vista, then
- Select sound from the control panel.
- Select the recording tab.
- Right click on the background of the tab and choose "show disabled devices."
- Right click on Wave Out Mix and click enable.
- Now it should work the same way as Wave Out Mix in Windows XP, allowing you to record any sound your computer makes.
In Windows, when you try to record streaming audio (like a Skype call or a webcast), there is a simple setting that allows you to record any sound playing through your computer's sound card.
For this you have to:-
- Select your sound properties through the control panel or the sound icon in your system tray.
- Click on the properties tab.
- Check the recording box.
- Make sure Wave Out Mix is selected (sometimes called stereo mix, or mono mix).
- Now you should be able to set Wave Out as your default for recordings made by Audacity or other audio recording programs.
In Vista, to enable the Wave Out mix:
>Go to the Sound item in control panel
>Click on the Recording tab
>Right click on the background of the tab and select "Show Disabled Devices"
>Find the Wave Out mix item and right click on it and select Enable
>It will now show up as a device channel in application like Cubase and Audition
What if your Vista piece of crap chooses to not see any WaveOut or any mixers at all? Then what do you do? take the chain saw out and destroy Microsoft softwares? seriously though, it's not showing up so it there a command line I can pop in there and unlock the mysteries of a billionaire moron who can't make anything simple?
