Audio Capture from WASAPI?
« on: September 20, 2020, 06:25:46 PM »
Would an option to capture audio from WASAPI be a possibility? The program i normally use to record audio which i won't name has that ability. I currently have a crappy onboard soundcard and what i have noticed is recording from WASAPI is much higher quality and using DirectSound or MME there is background noise produced from the soundcard, which affects the visualizer when no other sound is playing if your using WACUP in that way. There's also the whole Digital->Analog->Digital caveat with DS/MME.

Maybe. I've never had much luck in getting the WASAPI capture mode to work when I tried it out a few years back but it's something I could consider looking into later on.
