Hi koosei and welcome to our community
As I understand it, the ability to record system sounds is largely dependent on the capabilities of your audio hardware. Mine isn't enabled either. I questioned TechSmith support because in Camtasia Studio I could record this way on my desktop PC but not my laptop. And that was the answer given to me. Because I'm seeing the same behavior in Captivate, I am assuming this is the case.
Cheers... Rick

Hi again
I forgot to add how you might accomplish the goal. You could obtain a small patch cable from somewhere like Radio Shack that would plug from the Speaker out jack to the Microphone in jack. I've done this before as well. Now if you need to blend a Microphone with that, you would need to either obtain a mixing device or something like that. Connect the components to the mixing device, then connect the mixing device to the computer via either Line In or Microphone.
Just a thought... Rick

Hi again
Sorry to be so chatty here. But your question piqued my curiosity. So I did some Googling to see if there was any sort of utility out there that could help with this. I found one that is totally free that may work. It is called FreeCorder toolbar. You may take a look at it by Clicking here.
Might be worth trying. Also keep in mind that most of the system sounds exist separately as .WAV files that are accessed when needed. So one way to use them might be to insert something like a Click Box object that doesn't pause and does nothing when clicked. Then attach the audio to that and time as needed. Or you could use a Transparent Caption with no text and do the same thing.

Heya Steve
I could be mistaken here, but I think the issue is that when koosei is using Captivate, the ability to record "System Audio" is not an available option. With certain types of sound cards, I don't believe it's supported.
