hmmm that resource would help a good deal.
I have 10 people interested which means once again we may have enough
to start something.
It sounds like the sound issue will only get worse though.

Would still like to be able to do it using only this PC itself, but

(yes, think it's funny that domain name and product name are spelt
differently)
Main thing with it, aside from it boosting the output by 400% to
help guys save battery life on things like MP3 players, is it means
I can use some of my audio gadgets without using my one hearing aid
as well, and another thing is it's completely portable - roundabout
the size of my thumb in total - uses A A A A batteries (splitting
those characters apart since otherwise something like jaws will just
read the 4 of them as a triple letter combo, which it definitely
isn't)- and actually has 2 output jack sockets, so you can also use
it to easily split one audio signal into 2 output signals, so I
could then plug headphones into one socket, to hear what was
happening, and plug something like my other laptop's audio jack to
its line in into the other socket to then handle the recording, but
this would still require the use of the other laptop to handle the
recording, which is specifically what I'd like to avoid having to do.

Jacob,
This is the biggest annoyance I find with recent versions of
Windows. configuring sound settings is a major pain. What I did was
buy an external soundcard type device that allows me to record from
external sources, like my playstation 3 for example. If you want to
record from the sound card, I'm not sure what to tell ya. My sound
card allows me to record, but there are 2 huge issues. First it
sounds like total garbage. and second, I cannot unmute the mic
while stereo mix is active, because there can only be 1 audio
device enabled. I haven't found a workaround for the stereo mix
issue yet, although I would be interested if anyone has any
suggestions. I've been looking for a good way to do this for years.

OK, while I could just use an external microphone/device to record
my computer's audio output, including surrounding sounds, maybe me
talking etc., etc., while using my current primary windows7
ultimate 64 bit primary machine, on machines like windows XP, it
seemed you could easily enough, sometimes use either a sort of
virtual audio recording device called stereo mix, or one called
what you hear, and then using something like either audacity, or 2
other recording apps have gotten hold of - see below - record just
the computers actual audio output, including screenreader
voices, a bit more cleanly.
Anyway, on this windows7 64 bit machine, I had to firstly go and
make the stereo mix recording device show up, since it sort of
gets hidden by windows7 itself - in start menu search box, I type in:
sound card
and then hit enter on "change sound card settings".
Then in that dialogue box, I ctrl + tab to recording page, and in
list of recording devices, it only showed microphone and audio
line in - and this is linked to my PC's realtek sound card.
When I then invoked a right mouse click on that list, using the
jaws cursor, on the context menu item there's a menu item saying
something like show disabled devices, and then I could find a
stereo mix device listing, and if I invoked it's properties, I
could in fact enable it, make changes to it's volume levels, etc. etc.
However, even if I make it the default device - also from that
dialogue, or specifically choose to use it in either audacity, or
the 2 apps listed below, the sound files do have a file size, and
a recorded time length, but are just silent..?
Most guys who've done something similar to this on windowsXP
machines reckon the device would normally be called something like
what you hear, but anyway - was just wondering if anyone had any
ideas related to a feasible workaround for this type of issue,
asides from actually recording the PC's output using an external
device/unit/microphone placed in front of speakers, since it might
be nice to be able to record demo's/tutorial material related to
some things like this, without having to first connect external
units/cables, etc. etc.
Lastly, those two bits of software found/tracked down that let
you sort of record directly to MP3 files - in theory anyway - and
which while not perfectly accessible, are still relatively usable
are the 2 following ones:
Free MP3 sound recorder

Digital audio recorder
