Various things determine this.the biggest of all are the capabilites of hardware and the drivers. Just because a sound is coming from your computer doesn't mean your computer can record it. What the previous user wanted was to do simultaneous playback/recording of his voice and skype conversations, for which he was using a USB headset and that was the limitation. The problem IS NOT with Goldwave and Skype. (Computers are flaky, recording is demanding, another application can mess-up your settings, etc.)

NOTE - I generally hate to see any other software running while recording. ** You can test that by connecting something else (like the audio output from a DVD player) to line-in, and try recording that while you are using your headset at the same time. I don't own any of these, and I'm not recommending them. And, I recommend you try-out Audacity (FREE!!!) before you buy any recording/editing software. But, if you buy a USB/Firewire device, or a specialized soundcard, it might come with its own software. I've been using it for several years and I highly recommend it, if its functions/features meets your needs. GoldWave is a solid program, with great tech support directly from the developer (Chris) if you ever need it.

I would pay for the full version if it could. It would be pity if I can't do this using GoldWave because it is a very nice piece of software. It seems like any of these solutions is going to require a "rats nest" of cables & adapters.

And for a really professional solution, an external device connected to a 2nd dedicated "recording computer"! (This "external device" can be a mixer with a digital output.) I think this might be the best "hardware" solution. Again, you'd use your existing soundcard along with the external device. An external USB or Firewire device - ( Example *). In that case, you'd again need some Y-adapters. You might need to use your existing soundcard for your main application, and the other "pro" soundcard for recording. A more-professional soundcard - ( example *) You should be able to find a "pro" soundcard that allows you to mix in real-time, or to record to multiple tracks that you can mix later. Then connect the mixer-out to the computer's line-in, and record. An external mixer - ( example *) If you can record from line-in while your other application is running**, you can use a couple of Y-adapters to feed the mike and headphone lines into the mixer. I think this could very well involve extra hardware but I don't mind. to my knowledge, while there are virtural sound devices, they're not real reliable for what you want to do. If that doesn't work, your best (and only) bet is to get a standard analog headset and use your sound card. If it shows up, chances are it'll work.if it doesn't, then it won't.

You can find out if it does by going to the sound control panel, clicking on the recording tab, right clicking and selecting show disabled devices and show disconnected devices. If you want to playback to the headset, you need to select the headset as the playback device in goldwave as well.įor what YOU want to do, the USB chip has to support stereo mix.

In Vista you have to specify you want the USB Mic device where as with XP you just select your device and use the mixer to select volume (Vista treats each input as it's own card) How you do it varies between vista and XP. You'll need to select the Logitech USB Headset (or whatever they call it) as a recording device if you want to record from the mic. USB headsets are thier own sound device.that's why they plug in to usb.
