Program to capture windows audio stream?

Lister2020 · 18 Mar 2007 at 23:09

Is there any sort of program that I could use to capture the audio stream from a program running in windows and output it to wav?

Im doing a 2d gaming assignment and Im trying to get the music from an old msx game called kings valley, but i coudlnt find it anywhere on the net and i havent been able to find anything yet that would let me do this.

I already tried putting the audio out into mic in and using fraps. Fraps wouldnt even start.

What about Audacity

Thanks, downloading it now, do you know offhand if it can capture the general audio stream out or even better from specific applications?

Well Ive only had a quick look but it just seems to be a general audio editor, Unless there is some sort of plugin to capture the audio out stream>?

it does, click the dropdown for the recording source

somtimes its called 'what you hear' or 'wave out' or 'wave', try recording on each setting until it works

Try Goldwave (Link), set it to record the sterio mix then start playing

If you have a video of the game, or have recorded from fraps then you can use vitualdub and save the WAV from the video.

Im sorry for being an uber noob but I cannot find this option in either of the programs

kirbz · 19 Mar 2007 at 13:03

So do you have a video that you recorded then?

No. Fraps wouldnt work. I dont know why.
