XP Pro SP3. It didn't work when I was on SP2, so that's probably irrelevant.

No dice. After some exhaustive research I found that some sound card manufacturers disable stereo mix or 'what you hear' recording at the hardware level. Lenovo uses SoundMAXHD. They are one of those companies that presumably do this to protect copyrights....blah blah blah. Anyone know anything about this? The workaround is plugging an audio cable from speaker/headphone jack to the mic jack. That only produces low, barely audible recordings no matter how much I crank the playback audio settings.

AH! This is helpful in pinpointing the problem. I only have one slider for Microphone. If I go in the the properties tab, it still only gives me the one choice. If I look in playback, I have 5. What do I need to install to get myself more sliders. I already added SndVol32.exe to get more for playback. I bet there is something similar specifically for Windows recording...RcdVol32???

In Wavepad when I hit the Windows Record Mixer button nothing happens.

Where is the Windows Recording mixer? In Wavepad or part of the Windows control panel?

This is basically the same issue I'm having.

I've been using this software for some time. I frequently use the record feature in WavePad to record audio directly though my sound card on my desktop PC. I recently got a new Lenovo laptop and it won't do the same thing. The only choices I have in sound and audio devices is something called SoundMAX HD Audio for both recording and playback. I'm pretty sure on my desktop I can choose Windows audio too. No matter what I do I only get audio sourced through the built-in mic. Can I disable this? Can I add another driver so it will pic up the audio coming through the integrated audio?
