To export in audio with Windows Vista

Pizzicato 3 can export a score into an audio file of type WAV. The way Pizzicato will create the audio file is the following. When Pizzicato plays the score, it uses the sound card synthesizer or a software synthesizer to play the notes. The resulting sound is present at the output of the sound card and that is the sound you hear. This is also the sound that will be recorded in the audio file.

So that Pizzicato has the possibility to access this sound channel on Windows Vista, you should do the following:

In the Start menu, select Configuration panel, then Audio, Sound. In the window that appears, select the Recording tab.

With a right-click in the middle of the list of peripherals, select the item Display disabled devices.

In the list, double-click the item entitled "What you hear" or "Stereo Mix" or something similar.

In the General tab, check that the Use of device option is set to Use this device (active) or something similar. This input means that all sounds that come out of the speaker of the sound card will be recorded.

In the Levels tab, see that enough volume is assigned to the slider.

Close that window and the following.

Go back to Pizzicato. This setup should normally not change after you have prepared it, but be aware that other programs may change it. If Pizzicato does not record sound as expected, check it again.
