Hello,

I would like to know what a laptop needs to have to have the possibility to
record internet radio stations.
A few days ago I bought a laptop , Compal FL 90 , with Realtek sound card
and windows XP home edition
but unfortunately I can't record and internet radio. I checked setup in
Realtek sound card but there are only two possibilities
two choose from in recording : MIDI or Microphone . The problem is that it
doesn't allow me to record any sound.

I checked google , I saw that other people have similar problem.

Please help me to solve this problem because it's very important to me.
I use recording radio stations for studying English language.

Install audacity, then in edit-->preferences-->audio i/o select MS sound
mapper for in- and output.
Select stereo-mix for input, and any sound currently playing , can
be sampled/stored.

I'm afraid I've got everything like you said with one difference, I can't
choose Stereo-mix but only Stereo.

Most sound cards won't record the sound that is actually being output. But
if you don't mind spending some cash, the Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS does. It
is a PCMCIA card (their description) so easy to install. As a bonus it
provides a line input and optical input and output and 7.1 surround sound -
things most laptops lack.

I think you have that backwards! As I believe *most* will and I
personally haven't seen one that won't yet. But I hear rumors they are
out there somewhere. Even the cheap Packard Bell computers from the 90's
could record the audio outputs.
