How do I record two audio inputs at the same time?

    I have a voice-changing program called "MorphVOX" and I want to make some gameplay videos with it. The problem is that I can either have my voice recorded or the game's sounds recorded, but not both.

    Does anyone know how I can get both to work together?

    I use Fraps to record my videos.
     
    The way most people do that is by recording their game footage, recording their voice later, and then combining them.
     
    Get Audacity (Google)

    Start both programs at the same time. Record the video game with your MorphBox and your voice with audacity. You'll need a second microphone other than the input for the gameplay.

    I don't know how the MB works, but save however it saves and make an MP3 if possible, and save your voice in Audacity as a project and export an MP3. Mix them in with a video creating software like Movie Maker and you got it now.
     
    I only know the solution for XP.

    Go to the Master Volume > Unmute Mic Volume.
    Then in FRAPS set the Audio Source to Stereo Mix. Now, when you speak through the microphone, you can hear your voice in the speakers. Then you can record both at the same time.

    Fraps is just recently getting good about recording game audio from what I understand. (Never worked for me until earlier 2010) I don't think it's meant for recording microphone audio. Perhaps it would be better to record the video first, and then separately comment on it in audio after it's done? You could then merge the two sound files together and position them how you please. Audacity is a good program for simple audio editing like that.

    That's the simplest way I can think of.

    I would do that if I didn't run into desync problems. Say for example, on Thief: the Dark Project, I knock a guard out and I say "Bonk!" when I do it, the Bonk's not going to play at exactly the same time as the actual event, so it sounds weird.

    I tried it before and trying to match the audio with my speech caused me to start pulling my hair out.

    Then in FRAPS set the Audio Source to Stereo Mix. Now, when you speak through the microphone, you can hear your voice in the speakers. Then you can record both at the same time.

    This is the solution for all versions of windows. Unmute your microphone and select Stereo Mix as your recording source.[

    Be sure you're using headphones so your microphone doesn't get any feedback.
     
    Record your voice and the video at the same time with different things, then stick them together later?
     
    As somebody said earlier, it's probably best to record the gameplay, then add your voice later; this is mainly because you may end up scrapping some footage, and it flows better for when you need to cut portions out, etc.
