can SFPro15 record streaming audio?

I would like to be able to use SF15Pro to record streaming audio from my PC (Win10 64-bit). Is this possible?

Currently, I have to send the audio signal to my receiver, then output it to an external recorder. I would like to skip the extra steps and record the streaming signal (youtube, concerts, etc) directly.

Can this be done?

@SteveMTNO This works if your computers audio device offers a loopback recording option. These are often called Stereo Mix or What U Hear. You can also install a virtual audio cable like VB-Cable and select it as a output device for your streaming app in the Windows sound settings and input device in Sound Forge.sound settings.

There has been a number of posts on 'recording-what-you-hear' lately. Search this forum for more info.
Basically, some PCs allow recording the audio which being sent to output natively using Sound Forge (or another audio app), Some PCs cannot without some kind of virtual cable like @SP. stated.
