Foo_record

I've been trying and trying again for a week, but to no avail.
I installed the foo_record component, in the recorder section I set the system device and then Add Location and wrote record://. After playing, a Playback Error window appears and I can't do anything else.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

The error message or console should give more details about the problem. But some guesses are that you have configured recording settings incorrectly, like unsupported bit depth or number of channels. Or you are trying to record with a device that is playing in exclusive mode and is thus locked.

The error message explains your problems. You don't have an audio device that can record anything.

What?

As the error message states, your device doesn't support the recording format you have configured.

I want to use record:// for capturing audio from Browser Edge or Firfox

For starters verify that the component sees your recording capable audio device. In the Preferences -> Tools -> Recorder where you now have "Default Recording Device" listed, if you click on that drop down menu you will see all the recording devices available. The default maps to Windows default and it's always listed, even if you have no audio devices at all. All the actual devices are listed in addition to the default.

Then you should navigate to Windows sound settings. You can use the new modern UI or navigate to the old sound control panel and its Recording tab. Check the properties of the input device you want to use and pay attention to number of channels, bit depth and sampling rate values. The device properties lists what is supported and you should configure the actual device to what you want to use during recording too, so there is no additional resampling involved.

I'm a bit curious about how you are recording as your screenshot seems to show you using UPnP output and you mention here that your DAC is this device that doesn't look like an audio interface for PC.

Yes my endpoint audio device is an Upnp Atoll MS120

But i want to record from system audio, from Edge or Firefox or Youtube

I try to use Virtual Cable, bit I can’t find a solution

You need to install a virtual audio cable device that presents itself as a regular output device for the system and offers a recording interface for reading that output by foo_record.

Thank you.
Examples?

I download VBCable and install it

Do you think to VBCable or others?

I have no recommendations or experience with any of such products. I only know they exist, some freeware and some payware. One you have a working software installed everything will work.

Hello,
I have a strange issue. On one of my desktop, which does NOT have DSD Processor, the VB Cable works fine and I am able to stream Spotify through Foobar using the foo_record. Works like charm.
But for some reason, on the audioserver, it gives me a "Unsupported Format" error. Currently using Oppo UDP-205 as the DAC. Maybe that DAC is not supporting a format, is my guess. OR, I foo_record does not like DSP like DSD Processor - not sure.

Anyone else has issues using DSPs along with foo_record?

Thanks!

@Angelo58 ,
That default device in your screen shot is incorrect.
You should be choosing "CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual".

Hope this resolves your issue.
