Setting your Sound Card as a loopback device

Requirements: This will not work with a hosted server. A virtualised server may be able to do it. This was written for XP, but will also work for Win 2k and Win 98. The sound card/device must have both recording and playback capability for this to work.

1.In Windows Control Panel ? Sound and Audio devices go to Volume ? Advanced
2.Select your input sound device
3.Then select the 'Stereo mix' as your input. The stereo mix is the output of the soundcard. Unless you wish to record ALL sounds your computer makes, including the startup and shutdown tones then may want to change the Windows sounds to 'off'.

Your computer is now set to record the output of the sound card as the input.
