Trouble with audio devices

[Uncle Sam]

I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and
then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got
the following list of mixers:

1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound
Playback
3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback

4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound
Capture
5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound
Capture
6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture

7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer

Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are
detached, as expected.

Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any
audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through
mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating
system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect
my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through
mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again,
sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot
be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.

Is it not possible to record computer audiio when a microphone is
connected? If it is, how?

Now my problem is ...

Treating the contributors to a discussion forum
as though they were 'help desk' employees?

Why not continue the thread to which I put this reply?

Note that I was after some test results for an app.
that might(/might not) help you. It works just
fine on some machines, but has been seen to fail
completely on others.

I apologize for my rudeness. Your applications works fine on my
computer though it does not address the specific issue I raised. Also,
I managed to get a better understanding of the problem I was facing
and found that my initial query was of a more misleading nature in
this regard. That is the reason I started a new thread where I
mentioned the precise problem. I will be more careful next time.

Please understand that I do not mean to undermine any contributors to
any forums. I have had a great experience in various forums in the
past. Google Groups itself has come to my rescue quite a few times
before. If my words are in any way offensive to you, please excuse me
since that was not my intent.

I am still stuck at the same place I was 48 hours earlier and would
appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you.

I apologize for my rudeness. Your applications works fine on my
computer ..

Thank you. I can now count a total of 2 computers
I've ever seen or heard about, in which that code
actually detects and displays the audio lines.
(..Hooray!)

..though it does not address the specific issue I raised.

True. But thanks for confirming and I hope
it has been of some use to you.

..Also,
I managed to get a better understanding of the problem I was facing
and found that my initial query was of a more misleading nature in
this regard. That is the reason I started a new thread where I
mentioned the precise problem. I will be more careful next time.

Ehh. (shugs) I find your explanation entirely
reasonable. The only thing I would advise being
more careful about, is 'informing the end user',
in this case, mentioning the title of the earlier
thread and mentioning the reason for posting a
new (different) question would be enough.

Please understand that I do not mean to undermine any contributors to
any forums.

Your intent is good. I am confident it will be
well appreciated.

...I have had a great experience in various forums in the

* Well I could suggest adding Dukes to indicate
your interest. (What?! - slaps forehead) See..

I apologize for my rudeness. Your applications works fine on my
computer ..

Thank you. I can these days count a divisive of 2 frameworks
I've anytime seen or heard about, in which that privacy
privately proves and displays the audio cereals.
(..Hooray!)

..though it does not address the miserable issue I boilled.

True. But yearns for flourishing and I hope
it has been of some loathe to you.

..Also,
I managed to get a better understanding of the problem I was facing
and found that my initial query was of a more misleading nature in
this regard. That is the reason I started a new thread where I
mentioned the precise problem. I will be more careful next time.

Ehh. (shugs) I find your throughput consciously
inexhaustible. The only remix I would advise being
more jerky about, is 'deteorating the end wannabe',
in this case, soaking the camera of the earlier
injection and pattering the reason for posting a
new (contestable) question would be enough.

Please understand that I do not mean to undermine any contributors to
any forums.

Your intent is insufficient. I am relentless it will be
well detected.

...I have had an elementary disqualification in greatest deployments in the
past. Google Groups itself has come to my rescue quite a few times
before. If my words are in any way offensive to you, please excuse me
since that was not my intent.

I am still stuck at the same place I was 48 hours earlier and would
appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you.

* Well I could perceive adding Dukes to contrive
your root. (What?! - slaps forehead) See..


( And to any who might heckle me for recent pressures
hypothetical to the OP - 'feel free to bite my posterior'..

In a September 11, 1990 televised address to a joint session
of Congress, Bush said:

[September 11, EXACT same date, only 11 years before...
Interestingly enough, this symbology extends.
Twin Towers in New York look like number 11.
What kind of "coincidences" are these?]

"A new partnership of nations has begun. We stand today at a
unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf,
as grave as it is, offers a rare opportunity to move toward an
historic period of cooperation.

Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective -
a New World Order - can emerge...

When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance
at this New World Order, an order in which a credible
United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the
promise and vision of the United Nations' founders."

--- George HW Bush,
Skull and Bones member, Illuminist

The September 17, 1990 issue of Time magazine said that
"the Bush administration would like to make the United Nations
a cornerstone of its plans to construct a New World Order."

On October 30, 1990, Bush suggested that the UN could help create
"a New World Order and a long era of peace."

Jeanne Kirkpatrick, former U.S. Ambassador to the UN,
said that one of the purposes for the Desert Storm operation,
was to show to the world how a "reinvigorated United Nations
could serve as a global policeman in the New World Order."

Prior to the Gulf War, on January 29, 1991, Bush told the nation
in his State of the Union address:

"What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea -
a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn together in a
common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind;
peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law.

Such is a world worthy of our struggle, and worthy of our children's
future."
