Check the Audio Device box to record audio from your selected sound source.

When you're ready, click the red Record button.

Capturing from WDM Devices

WDM ("Windows Driver Model") devices follow a newer Microsoft driver framework. Newer webcams, USB devices, or PCI devices might use the WDM standard.

To capture video from WDM devices, select your desired WDM device from the pull-down. The Settings, Format, and Input buttons may contain various options including enhancement features and compression, depending on the device.
