Ok, will try play around with setting default playback device to
alternative, but, for anyone else out there, just be careful since when
tried it first off just now, had to turn on narrator to then try reset it to
prior setting to get eirther jaws or NVDA to work as such again, and
narrator doesn't like that dialogue too much, so will have to play around
with it carefully a bit until figure out if it works as such, etc.
Stay well

podcasts/demo's etc. on windows7
Ok, you have it right and using the right chose. You can also get to that
option in control panel, sounds.
Now that you have the record side setup. You have to set the card doing
the recording also to be the card doing the playing of the sounds you
want. That is why you have no sound recorded. Make both the default and
you should get your sound recorded. Now if you pick the card you want in
jaws and the other card for default sounds. You won't get jaws in the
recording.

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
