Sound Card Support
This is kind of a support question and kind of a general discussion question I guess. I'm surprised that I did not find a similar question already asked and answered in the discussions somewhere, but i searched and didn't find it, so here it is. Is there a list of Sound cards that support using CamStudio for recording audio? Clearly what ever is in my Dell XPS400 ain't cutting it. It's a SigmaTel Audio device and does not have the Stereo Mix/What U Hear controls that are mentioned in so many support discussions. So, I suppose I need a new audio card. But, what to buy? Prefer less than $100, but i want good sound. Please, someone make a suggestion. Thx in advance.

Any Creative Labs card should do fine.

The major problem cards people were posting about seemed to be Realtek. However, both my XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro x64 laptops have Realtek, and despite both saying CamStudio can't identify the line, both machines capture the audio in video captures perfectly despite the configuration error messages -- in both CS 2.0 and 2.6b. (Admittedly the XP machine was having some problems similar to what I've seen others mention [i.e., on captures containing both audio and video, several months ago CS 2.0 started acting weird - if the capture had audio, then the video was goofed up. I found that even in this case running the file through VirtualDub would give me a usable file with both video and audio]. I suspect the problem was XP SP3, so when I had to reload that machine from scratch [new HD] I stayed at SP2, and all is perfect! The problem WAS NOT CS)
Since capturing streaming feeds is all I do with CamStudio so far, that's all I can address. But maybe trying some of the things others have mentioned might be worth your time if you haven't yet read those threads.
