I have finally today succeeded in recording both ends of a telephony call after much playing with sound settings and after experimenting with a different computer and different versions of Audacity. My settings were as follows:

Equipment: Laptop with wireless connection External USB sound board Audio Advantage Roadie

Headphones and mike plugged into the Roadie- 1. Control Panel Settings

Ø Audio: Recording, RoadieØ Playback, RoadieØ Voice: Recording RoadieØ Playback Roadie 1. Sound Properties

Ø Recording: Stereo MixØ Playback: Mike checked 1. Audacity (ver 1.2.3) I/O

Ø Audio in RoadieØ Audio out: Roadie 1. Skype

Ø Audio in RoadieØ Audio out RoadieØ Let Skype decide: unchecked 1. Audio Repeater

Ø Wave in sound cardØ Wave out: Roadie I don't understand why this combination works. The settings in audio repeater seem to be exactly the opposite of those recommended in Jeff's screencast. I wish I understood more what I was doing!

Taxonomy upgrade extras: * Windows * Audacity * recording skype
