What replaced sndrec32 from Windows XP in Windows 7?

In Vista, Sound Recorder is instead called SoundRecorder.exe and has different command-line switches.

  • The only command line option I found so far can only be used for recording.
    SoundRecorder /FILE myrec.wma /DURATION 0000:00:30

  • The old /PLAY "C:\Path\File.wav" /CLOSE switch doesn't work anymore

  • You can use wmplayer.exe %windir%\media\ding.wav instead.
    It supports several command line parameters and can be started minimized

  • You could copy the old sndrec32.exe from Windows XP over to your Windows 7 into the same place. It needs the "Run as Administrator" option checked
