CamStudio - WaveoutGetSelectControl () failed error

Issue

I am recording videos from an online source with CamStudio. When I preview of the video, there's no sound. I've tried to go to Options > Audio Speakers > Automatic Search:
I'm getting the following error messages:

• "WaveoutGetSelectControl () failed"

  .

• "CamStudio is unable to detect ..... to record the sound from your speakers"

  .

Solution

If you have any recording problem with CamStudio:

• Check that the "Record Audio from speakers" option is selected in the Options menu.

If the above settings doesn't work:

• Right click on volume icon (Windows taskbar).
• Recording tab
• Right click > Show disable devices
• The "Stereo Mix" entry will be listed in the recording device section.
• Right-click > Set as default.

Thanks to herman for this tip.
