Windows XP Sound Recorder [sndrec32.exe] in Windows 7 64 bit?

Utility tape recorder for Windows XP [sndrec32.exe] works in Windows 7 64 bit?

The reason I ask: under XP, I use sound recorder to audition small sound files for possible use as system sounds. No sense to launch a 'real' drive just to play a .wav of 2 seconds.

I know I could use the control panel of sounds and Audio for this (on XP) devices. But it's so convenient to the tape recorder on the Office Park and then drag and drop dozens of files .wav on it.

The sound recorder in Windows 7 utility seems to be on the recording of the sounds, not to play them.

XMPlay is a great and very light .wav player. It starts almost instantly. XMPlay is now my default .wav player replacing Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe) in earlier versions of Windows. (XMPlay plays too, other formats, including video.)

    The next time that you start the tape recorder, the Blank.wav file opens automatically. After you save your new .wav file, you can click on remove after the current Position in the Edit menu for
    Remove the extra space in the file.

  • Can I use the old sndrec32.exe (comes with XP) in Windows 7 and Vista?

    SNDREC32.exe was demand for Sound Recorder in XP and it changed to SoundRecorder.exe in Vistra and Windows 7.

    The new version will allow to record more than one minute of audio, but (as with most things in life when something is given something is removed). The new version cannot be used in Word to easily enter audio commentaries that are built into Word.

    Anyone copy the old SNDREC32. EXE from XP to use in Windows 7 or XP and were there any problems?

    I don't think you can do it, certainly not in the 64-bit version of W7.

    Have you read this article? That is what you want to achieve?

    http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/Word-Help/insert-a-sound-HP005257344.aspx

    Try to use Audacity to record your comments as mp3, then their incorporation in your Word document works for me.

  • Is there a replacement for sndrec32.exe from XP to Windows 7?

    I have been using C:\WINDOWS\System32\sndrec32.exe XP to play short WAV files because I can issue

    @START/min C:\WINDOWS\System32\sndrec32.exe/play/close a - sound.wav

    in a script to get the sound that is played with the utility run reduced and leave peacefully.   Is there a replacement in Windows 7 or a safe (ie: virus and malware free) utility available with these capacities in replacement?

    The sndrec32.exe file may not work by himself and require other binaries/DLL files.  Transfer them to another PC is technically against the license to use Windows (depending on the conditions, you have not), and even the law through terrible reads of the DMCA, but if you want to try, right click and 'send to compressed folder (zip)' drop everything first.  E-mail programs will be almost universally block any exe file because it pourrait be a virus. They will also usually block com and scr files (used in the BACK like an exe file).  But if you he zip first (or even to rename the file .somethingelse instead of the exe) you can get it to send.

    Maybe your screen resolution settings are initially
    the recorder window appear smaller. A lower
    adjustment would be to enlarge the display of the recorder.

    And... the Magnifier may be useful:

    Start-up and use Magnifierhttp://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/magnifierturnon.aspx

    Or... you can try using the option of narrative in

  • How to get Windows 7 Sound Recorder to record audio from the computer?

    I team with my boss and another customer meetings and we want their registered and we use phone calls from Gmail which means that audio is delivered directly through the internet, and Sound Recorder, I found out but I can't record audio only regular computer unless I Plug one wire in the headphone jack that goes to the mic socket who made the impossible phone call since taking mic is already taken.

    I saw in Windows help can I change the source to be recorded, but it lists only microphones (one built into my laptop is default).

    Is there a way to change the entry from the audio recording of the computer?

    My alternative is to find a cable between the MIC and the sound output in order to hear, speak and record at the same time, which I have never seen elsewhere.

    I also do this all the time.  All what I have to do to set up the computer for that is: -.

    Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], Sound, recording tab, set Rec. reading * as default device

    [* the name of your topic in the recording tab may be different - you just choose the entry that is not a micro device]

    Sound recorder will then record sounds coming through the computer.

    If I ever want to record from the microphone, I need to reverse the above setting by:

    Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], Sound, recording tab, set the internal mic as default device

    Sound recorder will then record sounds coming through the microphone.
