Hey guy's iv'e been looking for solution's all over the internet and now i am desesperate so i decided i was gonna write on a forum and ask for help to see if i can get any

Here is the thing. i want to record stuff that happen's in my computer (example:youtube) I have audacity program to record everything BUT. It seems that every settings I try won't let me record UNLESS i use the microphone wich i do not want to use. I think it's a problem with my sound settings but i could be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks in advance :P Sorry for the mistakes im french

Convert YouTube to MP3, Get MP3 from YouTube video, FLV to MP3, extract audio from YouTube, YouTube MP3 - ListenToYouTube.com

Keepvid.com will also allow you to download either full videos or mp3s.

I know how to capture the thing is it won't let me!
I use Audacity and what i want to record is actually a Gp5 file (kinda like midi)
The thing is when i try to record on audacity using the following inputs:
Microphone
LineIn
Realtek Digital Input
StereoMix
Microsoft Sound Mapper
it doesnt let me record anything. I press record then play to hear the song but it seem's that with any inputs it just does not record!
Is it my setting's in windows? Or a lack of driver?
Because I cannot export files that has music in them either (example) Guitar Pro allows me to convert Gp5 files to Wav. but when I do. AGAIN it does not capture the audio... why

even with stereomix as a recording device and all it just wont work on any programs. and i used to do this along time ago idk why it dsnt work now. maybe cus i got windows 7? missing drivers maybe but how can i know if its that or just the settings wrong

this is so confusing

Are you setting the input you wish to record in the record mixer. The mixer you see when you double click the speaker icon is the play mixer. If you are not doing that post here and someone with Windows 7 surely can help. I only have XP.

i use speakers as volume indeed.
and i have tried EVERY SINGLE record device possible (even the hidin ones) and it doesnt record unless I use the microphone. Is this a tech forum or what lol

Since this is a GP5 file, that means you are using GuitarPro 5, correct? Do you have an active license for this product? If so, I would suggest using the GuitarPro support page.
Perhaps this has been asked as well, but if you do have Guitar Pro, have you tried File>Export>Wave.?

Of course i tried, I even try to just play the song through GP and record with audacity, and exporting as midi (this works but some parts are delayed idk why so it's pointless). And yes i have my license but its not just with gp5... its with anything. even audacity

If you are playing through your speakers, and have stereo mix selected in the record mixer, then it should just work. Look at reloading drivers. As an alternative you could just plug the line out of the sound card into the line in and try that. You will need an 1/8th inch splitter so you can plug into your speakers at the same time as back into the sound card to hear it as well as record.
