Windows 10: Using Voicemeeter Potato /w Alexa, cannot record game/Discord sounds

Hello, I'm not sure if here's the place to be asking this kind of question, but I got to know how to fix this.
I currently have an Amazon Echo Dot with an AUX Cable that goes into the Line In port on the back of my computer. Using Voicemeeter Potato & Virtual Audio Cable to power everything (desktop speakers/wireless headphones & mic/WMR headphones & mic).
Everything's setup great, no issues (other than having to hit certain macro keys to get things working), but there's a problem... I can record my voice, but I cannot record the voices of others (in games/Discord).
Aka if there's drama going on and my friend wants me to record the conversation, I'm unable to help with this. All I hear is myself, not them.

The only thing I can think of, is I have to get a 3rd mic (or something).. I dunno. I need help if this is even possible.

How can I record playback audio and mic?

I've actually managed to my problem, just by Googling...after finally figuring out what to Google.


Problem: Using Audicity, I wanted to record audio of myself singing karaoke. Sound inputs

• YouTube video playing from Google Chrome
• G933 Logitech Headset (or any USB mic for that matter)

Two applications required for this. Download these two apps. When installing, make sure you Run As Administrator for each. Install each app, then reboot your PC.

• Virtual Audio Cable - Allows you to record computer audio
• VoiceMeeter Banana - Mixes two (possibly more) sound Inputs as one, which ends up being your Recording device for Audacity.

In Windows 10

1. Go to Control Panel>Sounds>Playback and Set CABLE Input as your Default Playback device. Verify that you now have these three additional Playback Devices:

• CABLE Output
  
• VoiceMeeter Aux Output
  
• VoiceMeeter Output

1. Go to the Recording tab and Set CABLE Output as your Default Recording device. Verify that you now have these three additional Recording Devices:

• CABLE Output
• VoiceMeeter Aux Output
• VoiceMeeter Output

In Audacity (Preferences>Settings>Devices):

• Host: MME
• Playback Device: VoiceMeeter Input (VB-Audio Voi
• Recording Device: VoiceMeeter Output (VB-Audio Vo
• Channels: 2 (Stereo)

Open Voice Meeter Banana (use the Search box next to the Start button) and change these settings:

• HARDWARE INPUT 1: MME: CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual
• HARDWARE INPUT 2: MME: Set it to your desired microphone. I used Microphone Logitech G933 Gaming). For this hardware input, select A1 to deselect it. Otherwise, you will hear your voice playing through your Speakers/Headset.
• HARDWARE OUT: Click A1 and select MME: <your output device>. In my case, MME: Speakers (Logitech G933 Gaming)

To test: Go to Youtube, find a video to play. Go to Audacity. Click Record, then go back to your YouTube video and click play. You should see the sound meter go up and down, in accordance to the track you're playing. Additionally if you speak, you will see your mic's meter rise and fall, as well. Stop the recording when finished. Note that to hear the newly recorded track's audio, you may have to change your Playback sound to your desired device. It i also important to note to reset your Playback device once exiting VoiceMeeter Banana, to your desired audio output device. This can be done by selecting the sound button on your System Tray.

 

Cannot uninstall Free Sound Recorder v10.7.1 Type 32 bit HELP!

I have an HP laptop with Windows 10 installed Version number 1903 and I think it is 64 bit. I installed the above program 2 months ago and I want to uninstall it.
I tried the many suggestions provided here:
Uninstall and Remove Free Sound Recorder 8.2.3 Step by Step
except the last suggestion but none of them worked.
The last suggestion tells you to download a third party uninstaller and tells you to click on a link which I do not know I can trust. I have however tried installing Revo uninstaller 2.1.0 free version and even this program could not uninstall the program. The message is always the same

C\Program Files(86x)\Free Sound Recorder\unins000.dat" does not exist. Cannot uninstall.

Will installing bitdefender antivirus program get rid of it?
PLEASE HELP.
