Double-click the little speaker volume control icon to bring up the mixer control panel. Click Options / Properties / Recording. Look for an input named "PC Speaker", "Mixed Output", "What you hear", etc. With this selected Sound Forge will record whatever you hear through the computer speakers.

Someone told me that on computers with one sound card the "audio engine" is used during the streaming and playback process and is not available as a record source, therefore, Sound Forge cannot see (or in this case, hear) it.
I solved this problem by having two sound cards - the default soundcard for the computer is a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Its output goes to inputs 3 and 4 of an M-Audio Omni Studio. This way, one is used as the streaming engine and one is used as the record engine.
Probably not the answer you were looking for . . . works for me.
