Software Loopback Method
Select a LOOPBACK recording device in GoldWave. GoldWave lists a separate LOOPBACK recording device for every compatible playback device in the system.
The following conditions:
- Recording occurs only when audio is playing. Recording doesn't advance when nothing is playing.
- If you have more than one playback device, you must select the LOOPBACK recording device that matches the current Windows playback device.
- You must use Shared quality for recording (and playback) in GoldWave. The software playing the stream must use Shared mode as well. Devices can be configured to prohibit the use of "exclusive control" in Windows Control Panel.
- The stream must not be encrypted. Loopback is disabled by Windows when playing copy-protected DVDs or DRM protected files or streams.
- Some devices may generate noise when playback is stopped in the middle of recording. Stop recording before stopping playback if that happens.
