1389126 2014-11-28 03:17:00 Have you tried right clicking in the blank space of the recording device panel then ensuring that
Both “View Disabled Devices” and “View Disconnected Devices” options are checked?
Stereo mix is often hidden in there,
If it still is not apparent you will have to use a driver that supports it, often older Vista or XP drivers.

More details here

Both ticked Dave and that link was where I read about having to use old drivers.

Usually it’s update your drivers, not backdate them. :illogical

1389127 2014-11-28 03:29:00 Sorry my advice wasn't any help.
I think the reasoning behind them disabling stereo mix in newer drivers, was that it made it possible to make your own
high quality recordings of whatever you like.
They can't be allowing that, eh? :(

So either it's a driver roll back or nothing it would appear.

Thanks for that Terry, Realtek drivers have restored the Stereo Mixer but the recording levels are very low at the moment, so I'll address that later today.

:thanks

You could be right Dave, but as you can see from my previous post Realtek have provided working drivers, but a 120meg download no less.

To think we used to put our drivers on a floppy. :D

1389131 2014-11-28 21:17:00 So had you been using the generic Microsoft driver?



Hard to believe anything fitted on a floppy these days, although there is an entire operating system written in assembly
that will fit on one,

In fact with the requirements of todays mobile computing,
such an OS (and applications of course) written entirely in assembly, would seem to be the best option
Less storage required for the code by a huge factor
Lower machine overheads, which would mean faster and more energy efficient phones, watches etc.
Only problem would be convincing the present generations of developers to make the change back to lower level languages.

1389132 2014-11-29 00:13:00 For a desktop I had, I'm sure I had to have a short double male (3.5 mm connector) cable connected between the sound card and a input (line in or microphone maybe) to record. A similar solution is described here (www.niharsworld.com) but also using a splitter. kahawai chaser (3545)
