Going Beyond Mic Recording – How to Record System Sounds
You already know you can record your microphone when recording your screencasts. But every so often Screenr users ask us how they can record system sounds – the sounds they hear playing through their speakers.
This post will show you how you can record system sounds.
What you need:
A 3.5mm Stereo Male to Male cable. Don’t have one? No sweat, you can pick one up from Amazon for under $3.00, shipping included.
A 3.5mm Speaker (Line-out) jack and a 3.5mm Microphone (Line-in) jack on the back of your computer like the ones highlighted below.
How to get started:
- Insert one end of the cable into the green speaker jack on your sound card.
- Insert the other end into the pink microphone speaker jack.
- Launch the Screenr recorder
- Select the Primary Sound Capture Driver from the list of microphones
- Click record
