I'm playing a wmv, mp3, etc and when I use audacity to record it's terribly staticy. What can I do to remedy this?

Ok I just tried another mp3 recorder and I get the same terrible static. They are from fraps files (game recording software).

Are you playing the wmv/mp3 on an internal player and recording in audacity via windows record mix or sterio mix? If there is good sound coming out of the line out (speakers out) line you can patch the line out to line in and set audacity to record line in. That may not help if the line in channel is getting interference as well.

About the only way then is if the line out is clean, patch that into the line in of another computer that is clean and record it there OR, get the audio off that computer onto something you can feed it back into the computer with via USB audio which will avoid the interference static. Something like this from Griffin for instance.

Basically what I'm doing is opening a mp3 file (or an AVI file from fraps) and clicking the record button when the file starts. Then I'll stop and play it and I hear very heavy static. I tried a regular mp3 file, an AVI file, and a WMV file, and they all get static.

I've tried this for 3 different audio recorders now.
What I want to do is take the audio from an AVI file and use it in a movie.
