Using Wave Out as a recording source

Z

Zach Pardos

Morning,

I've been struggling to find a way to effectively use my card's wave
out as a recording source.

The easiest way to describe this is that I want what SB Live offers,
which is a recording source called "What you hear", selectable in the
mixer. This allows any application, yahoo messenger, windows recorder,
etc. to use the wave out as the default recording source.

I have a EDIROL UA-5 audio interface. I'm using its ASIO driver with
cubase and it runs wonderfully, low latency with VST effects and all.
The drivers for the UA-5 dont have a mixer with a "What you hear"
option, only sblive has that as far as I know.

Seems there should be a way around this. If I were to visualize an
application that would solve this, it may do something like this:
Register a virtual MME recording device with windows, read the audio
from my card's wave out and stream it to the newly created recording
device. Not so hard right?

Unfortunately, my card's windows mixer is for *shti. Basically it has
none. There is only a "wave" volume control for playback and actually
NO controls for recording. This means that physically patching an
output to an input isn't an option because a feedback loop couldn't be
avoided by muting line-in on playback. I also can't patch it to my
onboard card because my onboard card is
busted (bummer huh).

I know of "Total record" and even a horrible program called "Virtual
Audio Cable". Unfortunately, none of them do the trick for me because
they only give the option of routing any device's input line to any
device's output line.

All i need is EDIROL Out (my sound card) -> Virtual Line In. But this
is proving to be near impossible in any capacity.

Some help would be great. I'm out of ideas.

You don't have any windows record options cause you don't have them turned
on.

You have a "wave out" of your sound card, right...?
Why can't you plug something into this output and record from that
device...?
Or do you want to even use the physical, "wave out" port at all...?

What do you want to do with the wave out port..?
