I'm working on my final and what I need is the audio from Google Translate. The audio is going to serve as a voice over, but I'm not sure what program I should use to record audio that's actively playing on my computer. Does anyone know how I can do this?

you have to go in the settings and change your recording device to something that I don't remember

Yeah, this will work.

Under Devices, just make sure that the Device under Recording says Built-in Microphone.

I followed all the steps in that video and it worked perfectly for me.

When I turn on "Show Disabled Devices", nothing more shows up for me. Stupid Dell..... I'm gonna download this driver and see if that makes a difference.

I found this where it says big companies are taking out Stereo Mix to prevent piracy or something

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-sound/no-stereo-mix-in-windows-7-please-help/9bf67267-329a-45f5-a6ce-902c6fa6b4bc

If that's true, there's something called Virtual Audio Cable I can download- but I'm not sure if it sounds suspicious or not. I would like for this driver to work.

I've used virtual audio cable before. It's legit.

So if the driver doesn't work, that might be your best bet.

This is actually really easy to do and doesn't require any programs except Windows' own Sound Recorder, but they like to keep the options hidden because if everyone knew they can just record all the songs they stream, the music industry would get even more screwed than it already is.

Sounds like you got it working though.
