audio output to mic input

aurock · 05-20-2005, 11:59 PM

Hi

I was wanting to hook up the audio output to the mic input on my sound card. That way if I play something on my pc it will directly record to my pc.
I was nervous to try it because I didnt want to blow my sound card.
Anybody ever try this?? If so, hows the Quality?
Thanks

I know in the old HI-FI days you'd sometimes get all sorts of feedback problems trying to do that sort of thing. Whether it's the same with computers or not I'm not sure. You could try a record/streaming programme that should do what I think you are trying to do. Have a look , see what you think. Here; http://www.sytexis.com/ [there's a free version]

this normally would blow out the sound card.

if you notice, microphones are passive (powered by the device) and therefore the mic plug is pushing power and you wouldn't want to connect that to a line level out put.

You can use All2WAV to record sound from anywhere (internet streams, games, MP3s etc) http://www.naturpic.com/all2wav/

Thanks for the link uripyores, I've been looking for a video stream recorder
