I must have tried everything known to man and it just will not record streaming audio on Vista. On my XP box i dont have a problem, could this be an on board sound related problem as thats what i have on the Vista box. Could it be solved by purchasing an audio card for the Vista machine as its driving me mad.

Possibly, as I know someone who tried to record some stuff using Audacity, his motherboard had an onboard soundchip (using Vista 32bit), and he was not able to, whereas, I was able to record fine, using a Terratec DMX 6 Fire soundcard on a Vista 64bit OS (with Audacity).

He could not get one of the icons to appear on the Recording tab ("Stereo Mix") in Sound (Control Panel), which was necessary to get the recording process to operate.

Now in saying the above, I'm sure a way has been found around this to get it too work, but what that may be I have no idea, there may be some setting within the sound drivers that probably needs to be selected.

Thanks, the work around i think involves plugging in a cable from audio out to audio in, im not prepared to do that so will lilkely grab a creative card.
