Advantages of the Enhanced Sound Card Driver

The Enhanced Sound Card Driver works by mimicking a sound card on your PC, trapping sounds, and then sending those sounds to the default sound card. In most cases, this works perfectly. This recording method is the same one used by Replay Radio 4.x and earlier. We've brought it back by popular demand for some of the advanced recording capabilities, which outweigh some of the disadvantages.

When recording with the Enhanced Sound Card Driver, you'll enjoy these bonuses:

• Cleaner, distortion-free recordings.
• Support for more sound cards.
• Sounds from other programs, including system noises, are eliminated from recordings.
• The Mute While Recording option will work on all PCs.

Disadvantages of the Enhanced Sound Card Driver

Here are some problems you may run into:

• Recording is more processor intensive. Recordings that would work well using other Recording Sources may skip, or the VU meter and recording timer may not update as they should. Using a lower quality output (try FM quality or AM quality instead of CD quality) may increase performance.
• Some unexplainable side-effects of these drivers have been noticed. Some programs may not run or install properly when the drivers are loaded.
• Won't support Windows Server 2003.
• Can't be active when using Skype.
