Cause of the problem:

Because most of the current sound card, can not directly through the function of the sound card itself for recording and stereo mixing.

This is due to the sound card chip manufacturers under the pressure of RIAA (Recording Industry association Ofamerica, the United States Record Industry Federation), and the need to maintain music copyright to prevent the recording, in the new sound card on the Audio module's function has been limited, The ability to mix and record directly is not possible.

Workaround:

There are two more practical ways to mix sound on a sound card that does not support mixing.

First, directly using a two-terminal audio cable to connect the mic and headphone interface of the notebook to achieve internal recording. But when you use this method, you can't hear sounds from your computer's speakers at the same time.

Second, the other method is to realize the need of the internal recording by the software virtual sound card.

For the second method recommended software: Virtual Audio Cable 4.09.

Revision changed to
