Need to record audio internally, not through the microphone

Hi Lee,

I'll admit right off the bat that I'm not a Mac user, so this may be a silly question;

Are you able to check the sound drivers / microphone drivers on the Windows 7 side of the machine? If those aren't installed or updated, it may not be an option for you or may not be installed properly. 

Another option might be to record using a program on your Mac side. Just make sure that you record in a supported audio format.

Replay supports the following audio formats:

• AAC
• AIF
• AIFF
• M4A
• MP3
• OGG
• WAV
• WMA

I also found an article on recording internal sound on a Mac - not sure if it will help, but I thought I'd share:

Howto Capture and Record Audio on Your Mac

**Scroll down to the "Internal Audio" section.

Let us know if you have any luck :)

Thanks!

The new version of Snagit, 11.4, now supports recording video in the manner you need.  It records the sound from the system and also allows you to add a voice over.

Thanks for sharing that, Brent :)

Have a great Friday!

Anyone else think it's strange that people are having to suggest Camtasia and Snagit to record audio for a screen capture when this is a support forum for Articulate Replay? These programs do exactly the same thing as Replay. What the problem looks like is, Replay does not have a user friendly way to record audio directly from the system. You have to go and change settings, update drivers...etc. I don't know about Snagit, but Camtasia has a simple, "Record System Audio" that just works without jumping through hoops. Why doesn't Replay have that?

Not trying to be a complainer, but it just seems like that would have been one of the first things considered during the software planning phase, even before development.

Hi Michael,

I don't claim to know or understand our team's planning and development process, but Replay is a new tool for us, and only in it's first update. If there are features or elements you'd like to see in future updates or versions, I'd recommend sharing those thoughts with our development team here. 

Reading back through this thread, it seems as though Jeff was able to get it working using "STEREO MIX option Steve described as a microphone" so you may want to investigate if that would work for you. 

Steve Flower's method also worked for me. Here's a Replay video (attached) of how I followed his steps. I didn't need Audacity, though. Just Windows "Stereo Mix" and Articulate Replay. Enjoy!

Thanks Nicholas for sharing here! 

I also want to record audio internally, and I finally use a tool, Tenorshare iGetting Audio. It is quite helpful. I read the user guide from http://www.tenorshare.com/products/streaming-audio-recorder.html

Glad to see that this thread was able to assist you as well Marco! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi Dylan,

I'm not sure that Bob is still subscribed as this thread is a bit older, but are you editing this in Storyline or when you insert it into Storyline does it revert to the original audio?
