I a using XP SP3, and I want to record and capture a few web tutorial
video clips. A few clips are youtube, and a few are not. But that
shouldn't matter, I think and hope.

Anyway, I am using Debut Video Capture Software V1.49. My first
experience was that the video was captured and was re-playable fine by
Media Player. However there was no audio whatsoever.

To try to get audio, I put a audio Y splitter on the mobo speaker out,
and then connected that to both my earphones and mobo microphone in.
Now I do get audio in the video clips that I record.

My problem is that the recorded audio has lost much of its volume and
is too low. I can't turn up the volume because the earphones have no
adjustment for that like speakers do.

Can anyone suggest some XP setting(s) to improve this? I have
experimented with same, but have not been able to find anything.

Seems like the hard way (more steps, more apps, more time) would be to
demux the files to separate the audio from the video, increase the
gain of the audio portion, then remux the audio and video.

It might be easier to use a different process to download the video
clips. If you're using Firefox, there are numerous add-ons that help
you do that.
