Audition can't record system audio, Windows 11, ThinkPad X1 Extreme. What shall I do?

 

The Camtasia screen capture software can record computer audio.

 

Thanks!

On many machines this is deliberately inhibited by the manufacturer, usually by an OS policy request, but it can also be dug in deeper than that. The solution I use, which takes a somewhat different approach, is to use SoundTap (it's a streaming audio recorder - other similar apps are available). This sets up an internal link to whatever is streaming and records it directly - it will also let you add a mic stream to the recording, although I don't use that.

Oh, you already provided the solution - i installed SoundTap and then Audition can record system audio perfectly.

 

I tried to uninstall SoundTap and try to use Audition. It can record system audio with extremely low volume.

There are two Dolby objects there normally - refer to picture above please. After I install SoundTap, one of Dolby will disappear. Even I uninstall SoundTap, there is only one Dolby object there. And under that environment, I can record system audio on Audition.

At this moment, when I record voice outside of computer, this volume is much lower than it should be.

 

However, if I do Windows updating, and two Dolby would be installed back. I cannot record system audio again.
