Recording sound and hear it in the same time

[Guest]

I have a question about the sound recorder program that follows with Windows
XP.
I can record sound using the program and everything works fine, but my
question is how to record sound and hear it from the computer speakers in the
same time.
When I record sound I see the green display viberating but how can I hear
the sound in the same time?
Is it possible by using the sound recorder program or do I have to obtain
another program with more options and settings?
If so any program to recommend?

I would think that playing a sound as it is recording would cause the
potential for feedback issues and is probably not allowed for this reason.
This would definitely be a problem if you were recording from the
microphone. Recording from another device would probably rely on the
capabilities of the device itself.

Just my opinion......

Open Volume Control from taskbar icon.
Options > Properties > check Adjust volume for Playback > check Microphone >
OK.
Make sure Mute is not checked.
Leave this window open, it controls the volume you hear from your speakers.

Open Volume Control from taskbar icon again.
Options > Properties > check Adjust volume for Recording > check Microphone

OK.

Make sure Select is checked.
Leave this window open, it controls the volume you record from your
microphone.
Move the smaller window so you can see both.

I would not record sound from microphone. I will use another device that will
not be effected by the speakers volume.

Same principle for Line In, the trick is realising you can open Volume
Control twice.
