    Hello

    Thank you very much!

    Carmela

    Carmela, welcome to the forum.

    What is the make and model of electric piano?  I would like to look at the specifications to see if there is a way to connect it to your computer via a USB 2.0 port.  I explain why it's necessary information below.

    The sound card is integrated into the motherboard of your computer.  This is the "Illustrated Parts & Service card" for the computer.  P. 2, it shows the "system board components."  It shows a Line Out jack, but no Line In connector.  The best way is to connect your piano to computer Line Out connector on it to a Line In connector on the computer.  In addition, there is no slot for a dedicated sound card.

    Once I have the model of the piano, I will try to help connect you to the computer.

  • How to record what is happening by the sound card without using the microphone to avoid loss of quality.

    I tried, but there is no "Stereo mix" available options. There is only the (Conexant High Definition Audio) Microphone. It did not work. What I'll do is to buy a DVD for TV (tv Record program) burner and plug the hdmi cable from my computer to the DVD recorder and record what I want. After that, I just rip the audio from the file. I see no other option to do. I use windows vista Home premium.

    I would like to know how I can record the sound that is played by the soundcard using Vista without using the microphone as a source. Let's say the audio is played (audio stream) and I want to record this stream. There are many software that we can download that record what is happening in the microphone. The sound bounces off the speakers to the microphone. But when this happens, you lose a lot of the quality of the audio. So my question is if it is possible to record what is happening to the right of the sound card, before being sent to the sound card in order to avoid the loss of audio quality.

    ==============================
    Movie Maker has an option to record Narration...
    (Tools / tell the chronology). If you select stereo mix
    as the "Audio Input Source", you can save the
    Audio online. Your speakers and microphone are
    not required.
