Does T530 really lack Stereo MIX?

Seems T530 lacks Stereo MIX, please confirm.
I record radio-programs using Audacity so 'Stereo mix' is essential for me.
No, this is not a bug in Win7 because I connected a USB-audio card, and then 'stereo mix' started showing up. Then ran through Audacity and recording went well. This use-case of recording from online-radio, is something many computer LITERATES do. Seems Lenovo is out of touch. Imagine how easy it would be to carry USB-audio card and set of small speakers all around, not practical.
When buying laptop it is not possible to make sure that maker has exposed 'Stereo Mix'
If Stereo Mix is missing, I truly regret buying T530

stereo mix has being missing on many windows laptop for a while now. I think it is a decision made by the sound card company to prevent pirating of music (i read this somewhere).

How does one enable Stereo Mix on the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset

I'm usually streaming games and I picked up this headset to replace my old gear.
I've noticed in 32-bit XP Pro I do not have the option to enable stereo mix which was how i was able to stream game audio and commentary on.
Does a work around exist to enable stereo mix or to otherwise transmit audio from both the input and playback sources?
BTW I've also posted this on the Livestream forums to see if I can get a bite.

Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a polyphonic stereo mix ? o mixdown ,

Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a polyphonic stereo mix ? What are some other editing allowed on a stereo import (polyphonic mix) Thanks, Sploink.

Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a polyphonic stereo mix ?
If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

Is " stereo mix" missing in your windows 7 on late 2009 imac 24 or 27 ?

I have a imac 27 running Windows 7 64bit and no stereo mix option.
I am a professor and when I do screen capture of scientific clips I need I can't get audio to record except by the imac mic from the speakers rather than directly.
That destroys the sound quality.
I have tried to download other sound card drivers and still no stereo mix recording or stereo mix playing options in sound!
I have the fairly useless digital audio s/pdif but not the stereo mix which is really needed in all kinds of recording applications.
I also downloaded the cirrus logic drivers shown in another thread for macbook users, but still no stereo mix.
Any idea for a fix?
This is an important basic function for any computer, and I can't understand why this is not supported yet?
Apple has used bootcamp to attract Windows users who want to use Windows natively. This is one of the most basic function, full audio capability.
This problem as well the cpu going 20 percent higher just plugging in a headphone, and the fact that the trrs headphone jack does not work on a trrs headset in windows 7 (including mic) is a real negative. The trrs headset like the iphone headset works fine with its mic in the mac side but not in windows side.
Drivers to make the basic hardware in an imac or macbook work in windows 7 shouldn't be rocket science. We need apple support or an innovative person out there to solve these problems.
If anyone reading this has the stereo mix on the w7 side, please let me know on this thread and maybe I can duplicate it on mine.
If not, we know this problem exists for every windows 7 bootcamp user.
Thanks!
Best to all

Generic, yes, but didn't take into account EFI64 (UEFI 2.x) req'd to native boot a 64-bit DVD of Vista SP1 or later. Apple has a list of those that are supported (actually, a list of UN-supported).

Stereo Mix Audio format not supported?

Hi
I'm pretty new at streaming, and i need help with my audio setup, I'm selecting Stereo Mix from the dropdown menu in the FMLE 3.2 but when i do it says.
"Audio format not supported."
"Audio format provided by audio capture device is not supported by this application."
I don't really understand why, since my mic device is supported. Why does this occur?
And how can I fix it?
I have a motherboard soundcard "VIA HD".
EDIT: I figured out why it doesn't work.
I went to the Recording devices menu to check the options but I noticed that Stereo Mix was "Currently unavailable" I figured maybe a program was using it but I don't know how to check what programs use the device.

I have noticed something else which is weird : the recording device is ALWAYS called "Line 1".
I tried renaming both the VAC playback and record devices Line 1 to other names, FMLE still displays "Line 1". This makes no sense (and Audacity sure doesn't behave that way, I have checked).
Should I need to make a complete uninstallation to wipe old FMLE settings ?

Creative Cloud - Does Adobe REALLY Care About Customers?

I hope the staff at Adobe are reading these forum posts.
First question: the following quote
As far as the future of CS applications, in his Adobe MAX keynote, David Wadhwani said, 'We have no plans' to continue perpetual licenses. We are not ruling that out in the future.
Just exactly what is meant by this statement? Is Adobe already looking for a back door if the Create Cloud doesn't pan out? I really would like to know what this means. It sounds ominous and dubious and it sends mixed messages.
As far as the Creative Cloud model goes, is this really a benefit to your customers? I can see it might make Adobe a lot of money (if you don't lose a vast majority of your customer base) but how does it really benefit your customers? Your loyal customers? The customers that made you the rich company that you are today.
Speaking for myself, I do not use all the programs that will be available in the cloud on a regular basis. During the summer when I don't have classes, I don't use some programs at all. But I have to keep paying whether I use them or not. If I stop paying, I will lose access to my software. How is that a good thing for me? For the majority of your customers? You think because we pay a monthly fee that most people won't equate that we are having to fork over more than $300 a year? In some cases over $600 a year. And it never stops. How is that good for the majority of your customers?
Do I really need to have the latest software constantly? No, I don't. But you are now forcing the issue whether I want it or not. Forcing your customer to do something does not seem like you really care about me. About us.
What about my students? We have hundreds of students that go through our Adobe software classes each semester. Every student told me they would not go with the Cloud, either because they don't have the money or they were going to protest Adobe's "money grabbing scheme" (one student's actual quote). The students sure don't think Adobe cares about them. If the students stop taking the classes because of the software access, then we start cutting sections. Does Adobe care about that? I'm sure no, but think about those hundreds of students each semester that will no longer be learning to use Adobe software.
Adobe is putting a stranglehold on its customers and the customers are going to say enough is enough. Perhaps new software (open source?) will emerge to take the place of Adobe. Perhaps people using InDesign will go back to QuarkXPress. Perhaps enough of these former Adobe customers will force Adobe to check their hubris and greed at the door. But maybe not. The world will move on, one way or another.
One thing I am supremely sure about is Adobe has got it really, really wrong on the Creative Cloud strategy.
BTW, you might want to read the following link entitled Adobe Creative Cloud: Lopsided Legal Agreement. It is not pretty:
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2013/20130508_1a-Adobe-legal-agreement.html

Nice sentiments, could not agree more.

I hope this occurs across the globe with students ("potential" future Adobe customers) whom may be hindered in their monetary abilities but not in seeing the truth towards what it being placed upon them by Adobe concerning the Cloud mirage. This is a great opportunity for educators to truly educate their students about Adobe.

In Logic Pro, how do I record a stereo mix of my project?

I want to have a tape delay plug-in kick in on the last beat of the song, with a high feedback setting so that last note repeats synced to the beat, and fades out slowly. I have everything tweaked so it sounds just like I want it to if I manually turn on the delay one beat before the last note. Obviously, if i bounce down to stereo mix normally the effect won't turn on. So the first question is:
1. How can I automate this process so it shows up in the bounce?
If there's no way to do that, then:
2. How do I take the stereo mix output of my project and record it in real time?
Thanks for your time.
Larry

Hey, Pancenter and Ahrensof, thanks for your help. I briefly tried what you suggested, and probably it would have worked with a different delay. Being a well-modeled tape delay, suddenly changing the parameters produces artifacts. Then, before I had really spent much time with your ideas, I realized there was a hardware solution. The interface I use, an RME Fireface UFX, has a secondary recording system that records to a Fat 32 USB stick or drive. So I played back the project using the main interface system, clicked the delay on/off switch at the right point manually, and recorded it on the USB system. It worked perfectly.
I suspect that both your solutions would have worked had I spent enough time with them, so I'm going to try to click "solve" on both. I hope the forum software lets me do that. (It didn't. Sorrry Ahrensof, but I gave you a "This helped" and a "like.")
Thanks again.
Larry

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

I have a hp hpe-595a, i'm trying to use stereo mix with a hot mic. anyone know how to do this?

I'm trying to sing along with the music in the chat program Paltalk and also host a music room on the same program, I can only use the mic or stereo mix but not both at the same time.
I have been using this chat program for over 5yrs and have always been able to use Stereo mix with the mic active, using the realteck codecs or soundblaster (what you hear)
I can't do this with the IDT codecs supplied.

Hey Redritr,
Thanks for the question. iTunes purchases are billed to Store Credits first, before Credit Cards, as outlined by the following article:

It also may be that the iTunes Store is prompting to verify your billing information:
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

Satellite L750-170 Windows 7 Stereo Mix Not Appearing

Hi,
I've been looking for ages on how to enable my Stereo Mix and I just can't get it up...
I've installed the latest driver for my 'Conexant SmartAudio HD', clicked the 'Show Disabled Devices' and the 'Show Disconnected Devices' and I still end up with no Stereo Mix showing. I've got Stereo Mix on my XP, Vista and my other Windows 7 PC before and I really don't know why it won't work on this.
Please Help!!
Thanks

*I found a solution!*
Stereo Mix is a sound device for recording music from you computer.
It is very useful for marketing purpose.
However, it is usually missing in most Toshiba computers.
Here is how to get it back.
This solution worked for my Satellite L750.
- Download the latest Conexant SmartAudio driver for your laptop downloadable at http://support.toshiba.com/.
- Create a new folder (I created one on my Desktop) for the driver and extract the zipped driver files to it with WinRAR.
- You should find a couple folders. Browse through them until you find the folder labeled W7-64/ W7-32, depending on whether you are using 32-bit or 64-bit.
There will be a .inf file inside. There should only be one file with that extension. Open it in Notepad.
- Now search in notepad until you find this section:
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,Enable,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,EPname,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,DefGainSettings,1,00,07,00,07
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,Flags,1,00
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, Enable,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, MixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
Note the semi-colons in front of each line. Remove all the semi-colons so the 8 lines above read like this:
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, Enable,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, EPname,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, DefGainSettings,1,00,07,00,07
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, Flags,1,00
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,E nable,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,M ixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,M uteGainSettings,1,00,00
Now cick "File" and "Save".
- Then go to Control Panel, Sounds and Hardware, Device Manager, Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, and right click on Conexant Smart Audio HD, select Update Driver Software.
- Then go to Browse My Computer for Software, Let Me Pick From A List, Have Disk, and navigate to the .inf file (the one you edited in Notepad) in the folder on your desktop.
- It should tell you it is no longer digitally signed and might harm your computer. Install it anyways.
- Now open up your Sound tray. If you go to the "Recording" tab, and make sure "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" are both checkmarked.
- Now you should have Stereo Mix. Right click on it and select "Enable".

"Sound Blaster Audigy Fx" and stereo mix availability

If I buy/install the "Sound Blaster Audigy Fx" will it add the stereo mix option to my sound properties, also
does this card work on windows 8?

Re: Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio missing Stereo MixK I think I'm having a similar problem with my Windows 7 Professional system.
I'm am getting sound out of my card.
When I right click on the "speaker" icon in the task bar I see the following list of 5 options
Volume Mixer
Playback Devices
Recording Devices
Sounds
Volume Control Options
However when I click on "playback devices", "Recording Devices" and "sounds" nothing comes up.
What I did do is completely uninstall all traces of any installed Creative software and in the device manager did an uninstall for the SB Xtreme Audio Card.
My recording device is the integrated microphone in the Logitech Quickcam/IM that I have installed. If I go to accessories and click on "sound recorder" it doesn't start up either.
The other issue that I see is that when I go into Control Panel and click on Sounds, nothing happens.
Something is definitely going on but I can't seem to track down the cause.

Satellite P300-190 - Cannot find the Stereo mix in sound settings

Hi,
maybe this question is posted before, but i can't seem to activate the stereo mix option in my sound settings.
It is simply not there.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or isn't it possible.

Hi
As far as I know the Realtek sound chip supports StereoMix.
But if your notebook has been equipped with the Conexant sound chip then you would not find the StereoMix anywhere.
One of my notebooks supports Realtek sound chip and Vista is running there.
In control panel -> sound -> recording I clicked right and enabled the option called Show hidden devices and Show disabled devices.
Then StereoMix appeared in my sound settings.
But as said above, this is supported only by Realtek sound chip

Stereo mixer levels bug?

I've seen this posted about previously but no replies so thought I'd have a go.
I keyframed a drop in levels from 100 to 0 to fade out the audio but immediately after the zeroed KF, the levels pop back to 100.
I would have thought they would remain at 0 myself from this KF onwards but not so.
I've worked around by trimming the layer back to the zero KF but this is not ideal for all circumstances.
Any ideas?
Running AE 13.1 on Mac Pro 10.9.5.

Yan

Thank you for reporting this issue. I have verified that this is a bug that was introduced in After Effects 2014.1 (13.1). We will investigate and hope to fix this in a future update.
In my testing, I found that this problem only occurs during RAM preview and audio preview. The problem does not occur when you scrub with audio (CTRL/Cmd + scrub), or when you render the composition via the Render Queue.
A workaround you can use is to set the Left Level and Right Level parameters to 0.01% instead of 0%. This should leave the audio functionally inaudible, and it avoids the bug. If having the audio at 0% is important, at the end of the Stereo Mixer keyframes you could also keyframe the layer's Audio Levels property to 0% to absolutely zero out the audio.
Apologies for the bug.

Is Stereo Mix available for the Satellite L300?

Hi,
I have been looking far and wide to see if I can find out how to get stereo mix for the L300 and I can't seem to find anything for it.
Is Stereo Mix available for the satellite L300?
Can I get it and if I can how?

Take a look here:

If you have Realtek sound chip then the Stereo Mix is supported!!

Satellite L650-12P - Alternative driver for stereo mix

Hi
I wonder if someone could help me. I just purchsed this wonderfull toshiba laptop which I am genrally very satisfied with but just one thing I would like to see which is not present and that is a function for stereo mix because I would like to play music through my soundcard but I cannot find this function in recording setting which leads me to belive the current driver does not support this feature.
I would like to know if anyone has found maybe an alternative driver which supports this function or any other workaround thanyou all for reading.

If someone want to help it is important to understand what you want to do exactly.
>...because I would like to play music through my soundcard
To be honest I also don't understand what you want to say with this sentence. It is logic that every kind of sound comes from soundcard. Music can be hearable on internal speakers or external connected device.
I also want to know what do you want to mix exactly.
Anyway, fact is that for your model Toshiba offers one driver only and from official Toshiba site you will probably not be able to find any alternative driver. Your notebook model has Conexant CX20671-11Z sound card and what you can try is to find driver on manufacturers page directly.
If you will find something please let us know. This info can be useful for other forum members.
