Need to record audio internally, not through the microphone
I'm attempting to create a "Record Screen" Replay project but running into issues with audio. I want to record the audio from the source (my Storyline output) and not the external microphone built into my laptop. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Here's an example; President Obama's speech today re: international development issues (available for open distribution to the public). USAID and the White House worked to make the telecast available via YouTube, unfortunately, it was impossible to capture the audio embedded in the stream
See detail on the screen grab, "No Audio," bottom left side of screen
Using two tools to capture and synch video and audio is cumbersome and inefficientYou shouldn't need 2 devices. Replay can record audio using your sound card.
I followed the instructions here to enable "Stereo Mix". Once enabled you can use it to record through replay. One thing to note, if you are using a headset, your soundcard isn't active. On my laptop, the sound must be coming from the built in speakers. Once I plug in a headset, I can hear through them fine, but there is no longer anything passing through my soundcard to record.I wish there was a way in these discussion forums to promote a reply as the "correct answer" to the OP's question. Would have saved me a lot of pain in going through most of the thread to arrive at this solution, which works perfectly. Thanks, Owen!
Glad that worked for you, it is working well for me as well.
Note, I also renamed the "microphone" to Sound Card for my own benefit. You will not see this option.
Thanks for popping in to assist here Owen :)
Adam - hopefully this assists and this thread is the most comprehensive on the request to record internal audio and I almost referred you to the same one.
No problem Leslie; it has been a while since I poked my head in here.
I've noticed around the office that the headset issue was the biggest cause of frustration. My colleagues had no problem finding and activating stereo mix. However, they were unaware that using a headset would cause the condition were no audio would pass through the soundcard to be picked up and recorded.
It has been a while - good to see you :)
I appreciate you sharing.
Great instructions Owen; yes, I can capture audio in Replay using the steps you outlined (screenshot attached). It would be nice to have the ability to use headphones (I'm in an open office), but I'll take what I can get.
Thank you!
You are most welcome; happy to hear this worked for you.
Thank you! Gratefully the new Articulate Replay allows all-in-one audio/video recording. And with the help of Bob , I was able to enable STEREO MIX setting and record my audio with video in Replay!!
Glad to hear that this was helpful for you as well Timothy! Thanks for popping in to share.
The above workarounds sound unnecessarily complicated. I'm currently downloading Camtasia free trial to see if that's simpler. But I wondered if Replay 360 now has the ability to record the computer's audio along with visuals in one take?
I noticed the 360 version has better editing so that I can cut/trim bits of the screen recording , which is something else I got frustrated with in v1
