How do you get more than one line device? Do you just need to have a sound card with them? If so VAC is probably still a requirement for most people.

Sometimes its not obvious, but you should not be routing/mapping audio using line cables or physical audio devices. Sometimes you have to as a last resort, but generally speaking you want everything to be done through software because the kinds of cables people have laying around are all beat up and introduce a ton of noise. When people refer to audio lines (or sinks) they usually are using shorthand for an audio resource created by Virtual Audio Cables.

So what you are saying is in your screencap those are line devices created by VAC, but the way they are passing sound to each other you configured through the Windows settings?

Personally I think you should use nearest neighbor for re-sizing those. Just so the font is crisp instead of blurry.

I have managed to record the intro of the game, but I just want advice on reducing the filesize as 500 mb for a 2:30 video is not good. I have recorded using the lagarith codec in VirtualDub and want to make the file size far smaller before I start recording full levels as they will be roughly 40 minutes long and I don't need to wait 3 days for each video to upload. Any advice would be great:

Are you encoding to mp4 before uploading? Lagarith is recommended only for recording and editing, but you encode to mp4 right before you upload. It should be far smaller.

So, um, does anyone know why FRAPS stops recording on its own during loading screens? I've tried twice to do test recordings of trying out dungeons but it simply keeps breaking at the point of loading in while the screen goes mostly-black.

Does the game use a different resolution for loading screens? FRAPS can't really handle resolution changes IIRC.

So I'm still having problems with my sound options on Windows 7, can anyone help me on this?

- I can either have Speakers or Headphones working if I make one of them the default device, but I can never have both working at the same time because having one as default makes the other one just not work at all.

- If I turn Stereo Mix on then my microphone will not work on Skype or Audacity and claims an error unless I make the microphone the default and it will NOT want it any other way.



Basically, how can I make my PC play through the headphones when the headphones are plugged in, and have them play through speakers when the headphones are unplugged? And also, how can I make Stereo Mix work and NOT completely hog everything to itself to the point of cockblocking my microphone?

For your speakers/headphones the software that comes with your drivers should have an option to enable that if your hardware is capable of it.

And are you saying you are making Stereo Mix the default device causes Skype and Audacity to freak out? If you need to transmit Stereo Mix and your mic at the same time I'd recommend making a VAC setup for that. Though if just simply enabling Stereo Mix is causing the issue I have no idea. Enabling it should have no effect on whether your mic can or cannot be recorded I don't think.
