Default Record What Is Playing

How do I get Audacity to record what Windows browser is playing ?
Not using a mic !


That's call Stereo Mix, and is available even in Windows 10,
but will require hair loss to get it going there. I think
Windows XP makes that a bit simpler, but not by much.

Custom (manufacturer) control panels for the win.

AC'97 and HDAudio pretty well have all those sorts of functions.

Some of the whizzy PCI or PCI Express cards can be missing
features, even though some have a DSP complex and their own
firmware and should have all the functions. For example, my
PCI cards had no working bass and treble knobs to adjust,
and no software graphic equalizer either.


I remember a What-U-Hear feature back when I used a Creative sound card
and their software. Been many years since then since the integrated
(onboard) audio is good enough for my ears and for the content that I
play (I don't listen much to music, and games produces mose of the
high-end quality "noise" on my computer). Searching on What-U-Hear, I
found the following article:

The article mentions Audacity, which the OP is using, along with WASAPI
(Windows Audio Session API):

Yet I didn't see mention of how to setup Audacity to use WASAPI.
Searching on "audacity wasapi" found:
