mciSendString record

[.paul.]

how can i use mciSendString to record all sound card output?
i got it to the stage where i can create a wav file but it records just white noise.

i need it to record the wav files i'm playing through my sound card.

any ideas? i'm considering directSound as an alternative, but i need even more help with that...

i've tracked part of the problem... it's recording the input from the mic on my usb headphones instead of the audio output from the sound card.

i'm sure i'm missing something simple here

I think you can only record input from the mic with mci not output from the soundcard?... I think you would need to use direct show or bass
