Just found out (Ya, I know, "Just found out!") that I can record something on my desk top.
This is great as I'm preparing a report and looking forward to making a "movie" to present to a group.
So, what's my question. ...
In trying to record the audio from a company site [ No (c) infringement, honest. ] I get a nasty audio feed back that prevents audio use.
Ergo ... help.
Thanks all,
CM
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Is this something that iTunes does (and is an iTunes question) or is it done by another utility (and maybe an operating system question or a question for a forum for that specific utility)?

Disable the internal microphone.
It's done in QuickTime Player X but that only has the internal microphone as an audio source - though you can switch this off. It's selected from the white down-arrow at the right of the player.
I don't know whether it's possible for QuiCkTime Player to record the audio from a website. You may need a third-party application. Have a look at SnapzProX ($69, with a free trial) - I've never tried this but a quick look suggests it's at least a place to start.
Thanks to Limnos and Zyiab.
Limnos:
It is when using the Quicktime appl (on my dock bar).
Zyriab:
I have gone through the selecting of screen for recording and selecting the audio-in (tried both options).
With one (internal mic I think) I get the heavy "feed-back" both during recording and playback, and with the other I get ... uh, nothing.
Frustrating to find such a neat function but not able to get the sound going.
Thanks again,
CM
Quicktime X records the video but it doesn't record the audio, except what it captures from the microphone. The resulting audio is very faint, at least on my iMac.
Thanks Roger.
I'm begining to realize that there may well be a no-go on the website audio.
Too bad since I'm trying to promote something to my group "for them".
As noted it's either no sound or feed-back screech (forget with which options).
Thanks again to all for your time.
Always happy to get further comments/suggestions.

Download SoundFlower, it's a free application, it lets you route audio from a source application (e.g. internet radio, or embedded audio in a web-page) to a recording application (e.g. Quicktime, Audacity).
A note to Badunit, think I outlined my process previously.
If not, or you want more info re 'what the heck I'm doing' let me know.

😀
We had a cross-post -- you posted your process while I was writing a response to your first post. I changed what I wrote immediately after seeing you had responded first (but obviously not before you read it).
Thanks to Zyriab (AGAIN!)
I will follow-up re the Soundflower suggestion.
Will update this forum/thread as to my success (or abject failure) in doing so.
... route ... source ... embedded .... I'm really not a post-industrial Luddite, honest.
Badunit, this maybe of benefit to you as well.?
Thanks again,
CM
Judging by your name I'm guessing you're just over the Wye from me! 😁

Nope, just a colonial with a family heritage 'in the pits'.
But I've been through Bristol and over the bridge headed for Cardiff and St. David's Head.
Cheers and thanks again for the help.

You're welcome - hope you get it sorted! 🙂
Hi
It seems that Apple makes this hard because of piracy concerns, but many of us need to do screen capture with audio for legitimate reasons.
I learned this clever workaround from ethan.brown.7927408 on instructables com:
Plug an auxiliary cable (male at both ends) into the headphone jack and the other end into the mic jack.
Set Quicktime Screen Recording to "line in"
Recording audio with a screen recording.
