Sound Recorder question...

[barcaroller]

The built-in Windows XP Sound Recorder works fine when the Audio Settings
are set to Microphone (captures sound through the microphone) and it also
works fine when the Audio Settings are set to Wave (captures sound through
the soundcard). However, the latter works only if the media player is
Windows Media Player. No other sound (whether it is from another media
player, or a game, or the MSN Messenger audio controls, or anything else) is
captured. Does anyone know why?

It only captures WAV files, not MP3 or some other format not
recognized by the Sound Recorder. WMP is probably set as your
default player.

Actually, Sound Recorder captures the sound of ANY file played in Windows
Media Player (MP3, MPEG movies, AVI movies, etc).

Sound Recorder will not capture the sound of the SAME files played in other
media players (e.g. DivX Player).

Do you know what the reason might be? I thought Sound Recorder would
capture any sound passing through the sound card.

software, course I don't use WMP I use something different.
