The latest versions of Total Recorder have the option of installing without the driver. When should it be used and what are the consequences?
Installation without the driver disables Software recording mode. Generally, Software recording mode is used to record streaming audio. Installation without the driver still allows recording from the Sound Board (mic, line-in, etc). With some sound cards any sound can be recorded in Sound Board mode. This options was primarily intended for the business customers who use Total Recorder for clearly defined special tasks (e.g. microphone or line-in analog recording) and do not need the driver. It can also be used as the last resort troubleshooting option with some compatibility problems (however we have seen just a handful of such cases). We do not recommend using this option unless you clearly understand its limitations and are sure that you will use Total Recorder only to record in Sound Board mode which does not require the driver, or you are advised by our support staff to use it.
