Creating a Sound File

Using Sound Recorder and a microphone, you can record your own sound files. Sound Recorder creates Windows Media Audio files with the .wma file extension. If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Business, Sounder Recorder saves files in the .wav format instead of.wma. Sound Recorder doesn’t play sounds; you can play your recording in a digital media player, such as Windows Media Player. Before you can use Sound Recorder, you need to have a sound card, speakers, and a microphone installed on your computer.
