Disabling Secure Boot on Windows 8.1 Systems
The Application recording mode requires Secure Boot to be disabled on
Windows 8 systems. The benefit of the Application recording mode is that
each audio source can be isolated, providing a clean recording. You can
still recording in Stereo Mix mode without disabling Secure Boot, but then
the recordings might overlap with other audio playing on your computer, such
as system sounds. You will need to be careful to turn off system sounds and
not have any other audio play during a recording.
You might want to print out these instructions or have them open on a
mobile/secondary device since disabling Secure Boot involves restarting your
computer. You might also want to bookmark this page to return to after
disabling Secure Boot.
