Regardless of what you do, I'd try the Audio Notetaker free trial since it's a very valuable tool when it comes to synchronizing what you type with what you hear - whether you record live or listen to recorded audio later. But if that doesn't work, you can try an Audio Notetaker free trial or download the free version of Mic Note. That way you could keep using OneNote to record. If you have more difficulties, use the OneNote on your phone to send it to OneDrive and get it from there or share it to people. Whatever you save to the OneNote App on your phone goes to the cloud.

Inititally, I'd try to get "What you Hear" / "Stereo Mix" selected as your laptop's recording source. Just log into your OneNote online (Microsoft Account log in) and download from there to your PC. Mic Note has fewer features but it has a free version and it lets you sync what you type with what you hear. Audio Notetaker also has a menu that lets you easily select your desired recording source, whether it's your mic, what your computer plays (such as YouTube) or both. Sonocent's Audio Notetaker, for instance, does exactly what you want in a much more productive way. OneNote is good, but there are sometimes specialized programs that do things OneNote can't. After you record using Audacity, you could move your audio file(s) into OneNote if you like.īut if you have to use Audacity, you'd lose your ability to record in OneNote in real time and have it sync with your notes. If your sound card doesn't show those options or you can't make it work, you can record what your computer hears using the free Audacity program. In the list of available recording devices, you may also see a device named "What you hear" or "Stereo Mix." If you choose that, programs should be able to record what you hear instead of recording what your mic hears. You can see your laptop's currently selected Default Recording device in your Sound Control panel. Programs record using your default recording device.
