So it seems like the System Sounds are displaying the same thing as what Audacity is picking up, but i can indeed see the 16 and 17 IDs in the file i’ve sent. I’ve tried looking at my system sounds settings and i still only see the two “Speakers High Definition Audio Device” along with the “Speakers Steam Streaming Microphone” and “Speakers Steam Streaming Speakers” located under the Playback tab, and the two “Microphone High Definition Audio Device” (one of them is not plugged in, i’m guessing that’s an internal one?) and a “Microphone Steam Streaming Microphone” device.

They seem to not appear in the devices list. Steam device seems to be from the Steam Application from Valve, so yes it is related to video games.Īlso, the duplicated might be because my computer has a built-in speaker, and i am using headphones with a microphone which are both plugged into the rear ports, since plugging them into the front ports makes the computer preference the internal speaks as opposed to the headphone speakers for some reason.Īside from that, i’ve tried swapping the combinations as you have suggested, but i cannot seem to find the IDs 16 or 17 in audacity (The duplicate items seem to either be the same ID, or they’re just displaying as the same ID for some reason I don’t know, it’s confusing me). I can hear Zoom caller, but not getting it recorded when I hit record - my voice is only one recording. Learn how to record computer audio (including sound from YouTube, Spotify and more) with Audacity, a free and open source audio editor and recorder. I’d suggest that you try every combination of devices 16, 17, 18, 19 and see if one of those combinations works. Audio is coming in through my computer ok. What is the “Steam” device? Have you installed some kind of “virtual device” for recording games?ĭevice name: Speakers (High Definition Audio Device) (loopback)ĭevice name: Speakers (High Definition Audio Device) I’m guessing that is related to the “Steam” device. This is curious, because the “Microphone (High Definition Audio Device)” and “Speakers (High Definition Audio)” appear to be duplicated. Playback Device: 18 - Speakers (High Definition Audio Device).Recording Device: 19 Device name: Speakers (High Definition Audio Device) (loopback).It’s one of those things that isn’t at all useful, until it isĬurrently the settings in the Device Toolbar are: It can be quite a handy little tool, but a lot of people don’t know it is there. Didn’t think to post this for some reason
