record from internal soundcard?

I've studied the manual but could not figure it out - what do I need to do (or what settings do I need) if I want to record sound from the computer's internal sound card? I supose this needs to be done in the Fairlight tab but could not get it working.

Thanks

I don't think you can. At least, not without connecting a mic up to the mic input. But computer sounds and such, not those.

You can indeed record into Fairlight from your internal sound card. If you want to record an external microphone or an external source such as a cd, you would need an audio interface as computer soundcard physical inputs are notoriously noisy.
Like me you may have a Realtek soundcard.

If you wish to record the audio say from Windows Media Player do the following.
Check your Windows audio is set up correctly and that your soundcard is seen by Resolve.
In the Fairlight page create a new audio track then click on the top of the fader where it says "No Input".
Select input from the drop down menu and patch the Inputs to the track. In my pic I am using Audio 2.
When you now click on R on the track to arm it you will see and hear the incoming audio.

Right, now the downside. To be able to see both Resolve and whatever your audio is coming from you really need two monitors as when you click on Resolve the other programmes screen will disappear behind it.

Thank you so much - made my day.

I remember when I needed to do a quality programming assignment on just this software. But I did not know how best to write about it and do the task in a short time. Luckily here I found do my programming assignment and I am very grateful to them for their help in this matter. I hope that you will also find it as useful as possible.

hi charles! you wrote: "Check your Windows audio is set up correctly and that your soundcard is seen by Resolve." well, for you tech-freaks this is self-understanding. for normal mortals it's a mystery... how do I check if resolve sees what's going on on my realtek soundcard resp. the sound that is coming over my loudspeakers? I can choose the two loudspeakers as source and patch them to a track, but the meters do not react when I click "R" despite music is playing... would be grateful for help! (with soundbooth such recordings were a child's play...) greetings! hilmar

PS: I linked the soundstream to my loudspeakers as source via "source > monitor out"; the two loudspeakers popped up and could be patched to the "destination".

For more flexibility, you can use the virtual inputs from VoiceMeeter.

The audio not getting to the meters and tracks is a permissions problem. In the Windows Start Menu click on Settings, then Privacy. Click on Microphone and turn on "Allow apps to access your microphone". Do the same for "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone". The audio going into Resolve should now work.
