Hello. I am having a lot of fun with dosbox on a Dell-sff pc that I like because I haven't yet installed years of stuff on it. The days are numbered as far as large empty partitions because I find myself using it to download all types of old software and games that I never got because of the price at the time. Thank you abandonware and such.
Since the PC is running Win7, with a realtek high definition audio driver, there isnt an straight forward way to record "what you hear". Its something that dell did purposely so people would be less tempted to record from.........what-ever. There are a few work around's, the easiest one being to use Audacity to record since it uses the windows wasapi driver so doesn't need a "stereo mix" setting in the sound mixer gui. there are a few other workarounds that I can also use. I was wondering how much effort it would take to enable the soundblasters onscreen mixer gui in dosbox to be able to record "what you hear" on Vista's, Win7 and Win 8 computers that lack the ability to (enable) "what you hear" recording of sounds. Before windows gui based control, soundblaster had a dos control screen with sliders and such. What would it take to add it back.
Thanks. Maybe more info than the question needed, but felt that It made the situation clearer. 😀
