How to enable an audio recording line in Windows Vista:
Note: This procedure is not necessary for Replay AV 8.3 and
newer or Replay Music 3 and newer. Use the new audio driver as
your recording method for best results when audio recording.
Windows Vista made some major changes to audio controls which
negatively impact the users ability to record from the sound
card. The ability to record from the sound card will be
dependent on your system's sound card and drivers. It is
important to make sure that you have the latest drivers
installed for your sound card. Install the latest drivers before
proceeding with these steps.
On some systems you may be able to enable a recording device as
follows:
Open Control Panel
In classic view, go to Sound
Go to the Recording tab.
If you only see "microphone" and/or "line-in", right-click
anywhere in the blank white area of the window to display the
Show Disabled Devices context menu. Select Show Disabled
Devices:
If Stereo Mix, Wave-Out Mix, Wave, What U Hear, or something
similar appears, do a little happy-dance, then right click on
that entry and choose enable:
Click OK - In the case of the example above, we have just
enabled the "Stereo Mix" recording device. Keep in mind this is
dependent upon your sound card hardware and drivers. You may or
may not have this line available.
To make this newly enabled device the default recording device,
highlight it and click the Set Default button, or right-click on
the device and select make default:
If you were able to successfully enable a recording line, select
the appropriate audio device and audio recording line prior to
recording.

Sound Card Recordings (sound from speakers): New! Download
Replay AV 8.3 or newer and you'll have a brand new way to record
audio. And it works in Vista too! Open the properties of your
scheduled audio recording, go to the Recording tab and select
the Replay A/V Audio Driver as the Audio Recording Method:
Enhanced sound card driver does not record: The optional
enhanced sound card driver is not compatible with Windows Vista
and is no longer necessary for use in Replay AV. Please
uninstall the enhanced sound driver if installed.
Audio Recording Lines from the sound card may be missing: You
may be able to enable additional recording lines. Please note
that in most cases the Replay A/V Audio Driver will be your best
choice.

ffmpeg.exe related error message when converting in Windows

Replay Media Catcher
Current Status: If Replay Media Catcher has trouble connecting,
you may need to turn off User Account Control in Windows Vista.
Replay Media Splitter
Current Status: There are no known issues with Replay Media
Splitter in Windows Vista.
Replay Music
Current Status: Replay Music 3 is now available. This version is
compatible with any sound card and with Windows Vista. The only
known limitation at this time is some incompatibility with Yahoo
Jukebox. We recommend using Rhapsody as a comparable replacement
for Yahoo Jukebox as it works very well with Replay Music.
When using Replay Music to record from Napster in Vista, use the
online browser version of Napster rather than the installed
software version. Replay Music cannot record from the installed
version of Napster but records great from the browser version.
Download Replay Music 3 here.
Replay Player
Current Status: Replay Player version 3.0 and newer are
compatible with Windows Vista. This version is also included in
Replay AV 8.11 and newer.

Due to sound card recording difficulties with Windows Vista, it
is recommended that Replay Radio users upgrade to Replay AV so
that they may stream capture rather than record using the sound
card. Check out the many advantages to upgrading to Replay AV.
Replay Screencast
The screen region selection tool may not work properly in Vista
at this time. Choose the recording window method instead.

the appropriate audio device and audio recording line in Replay
Screencast's settings prior to recording.

Recording audio with Freecorder 2 and Vista: Windows Vista made
some major changes to audio controls which negatively impact the
users ability to record from the sound card. The ability to
record from the sound card will be dependent on your system's
sound card and drivers. It is important to make sure that you
have the latest drivers installed for your sound card. Install
the latest drivers before proceeding with these steps.
On some systems you may be able to enable a recording line.
If you were able to successfully enable a recording line, select
the appropriate sound card and line source in Freecorder's
settings prior to recording.
