| In XP I could record audio with sound recorder from anything I could hear. For example, if I was playing a WAV file, or listening to a song on the internet, I could record it. Now in Vista it only allows me to record from my microphone. I checked disabled devices and still can not get anything but the microphone to show up.
Is there anyway around this besides sticking an audio cable from the headphone jack into my mic input? So far Vista has me aggravated with things I have lost, you would think a newer operating system would allow you more flexibility, not take it from you. | |

MS did this intentionally to protect copyright. I think it's a fair move to be honest.
But as usual there are work arounds:
I use a free Audio editor called Audacity. The website help pages has instructions how to set up Audacity to record "what you hear"
