This does not interrupt audio played by pulseaudio, it just records it as if it were also an input device. If you select this "Monitor" as your audio input device, that application will no longer record audio from microphones, but will capture any audio sent to your sound card. One of those options will read, "Monitor of ". You can click this button and change it to any audio device you wish such as a different microphone. You'll notice that there's a button next to each application that displays the device it is listening on for audio input. Click the red Record button and play the audio file you want to capture. Then make sure that Playback Device is the Speakers and choose the Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) (loopback) option from the Recording Device box.

You can set it lower if you want, but the volume at which audio is played by your system is the volume at which it will be recorded. Drop down the Audio Host (MME) list and choose Windows WASAPI.

Make sure your software volume output (the volume level in pavucontrol, not the volume knob on your external speakers) is set to 100%, but not more than that in order to avoid distortion. In the capture settings for your application, enter the audio capture device as "pulse".Īfter you've verified that your recording software is indeed listening for input using pulseaudio and it appears in the recording tab of pavucontrol, we can now change where it listens for input. If your application is actively recording, but does not appear in the recording tab of pavucontrol, then it is not using pulseaudio for this purpose. Remember the application has to be actively recording audio input, so if you're using something like gtk-recordmydesktop, it must be actively capturing your screen to appear here. In the "Recording" tab, you will see a list of all applications currently listening for audio input. The tab we're interested in is the "Recording" tab.
You'll notice at the top of the window several tabs. Once pavucontrol is installed you can use it to change a variety of options regarding your sound, more-so than the default sound manager in most desktop environments. Either mute that volume meter by pressing M or lower its level to zero with the cursor keys. Find any interesting setting there for 'Mic' or 'Capture' which shouldn't be there, since we are on the playback tab.
Press F3 to make sure you are on the playback tab.
#Naudio audio loopback install#
One method you can use to accomplish this is to ?install and use the software package pavucontrol, which is available in the Debian repositories, by executing: # apt-get install pavucontrol What I've done to solve this: Open alsamixer in terminal. This could be useful for screen recording sessions where you want to capture the audio as it is produced instead of just setting an external microphone next to your speaker. Ive set the audio host to Windows WASAPI. Pulseaudio provides us with the means to easily create an audio loopback device that allows us to record sounds produced by our system as if they were being redirected into the microphone.
