Fix to enable Stereo Mix in Sigmatel Drivers WinXP with Bootcamp 2.1 Update

Hey all.
After the update I lost my ability to use Stereo Mix mod in the Sigmatel Control Panel after Bootcamp helpfully rewrote over them (ARGH!).
This can be very useful for recording your Computer Audio with Audacity, FRAPS or other recording software for blogs, training videos, Skype recordings, etc.
After searching the web for updated drivers and getting frustrated in the process, I made my own modified drivers from the most recent Bootcamp Sigmatel drivers to have this function enabled again.
Here is the link to the zip file with the drivers (instructions on how to install included in a Read Me file):

Here is a comparison shot of the default panel and the one after I installed the modification:
Hope it helps peeps.

Bonjour! I saw your post and thats pretty interesting.
I have a problem with my mac pro 2.33ghz 17".
In XP when i try to record with the "line in" I get lot of
signal like if the drivers were not switching from mic in to line in.
I have to put my slider almost down and i get to much signal.
when i play back the sound is distorded like digital distortion.
I tryed on OSX leopard and the recording is fine.so it's not phisical.
I did try to instal bootcamp 2.1 and does not want to instal.
Anny suggestion? Thanks

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.

Enable Stereo Mix on L755-S5245

In order to enable the Stereo Mix feature on your Satellite L755-S5245 you must follow the these steps:
First, I strongly suggest you create a Restore Point before making any changes. Go to Control Panel - System - Create restore point.
Click on Windows Start Logo and enter Regedit on the "Search programs and files" and press ENTER. Windows will prompt you to allow the program to make changes in your computer, click YES
One the left side of the screen navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE- SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet - Control - Class -{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - 0007 - Settings - EPattributes
In Epattributes, create a new key named EPsettings
Open up EPsettings and create a key named StereoMixEnable
Click the StereoMixEnable key and create a binary value named Enable. Change the value to 1
Create a binary value named MixAssocSeq. Change the value to E0 E0
Create a binary value named MuteGainSettings. Change the value to 00 00
Follow the same steps with ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 (instead of CurrentControlSet) Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE- SYSTEM - ControlSet001 - Control - Class -{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - 0007 - Settings - EPattributes

For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

Radeon Drivers problems with BootCamp Windows 2008 Server R2

Hello !! I have some troubles with BootCamp and Windows 2008 Server R2... I can't find any graphic drivers for my AMD Radeon HD 6490 !! Heeeelp please
(I Have a Macbook Pro i7)

Shoooryuken, did you ever get this problem resolved? I have thhe same issue...
I have the 2011 MacBook Pro 15" 2.0ghz Quad Core i7 with integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon 6490M.
I just installed Windows Server 2008 R2 (Which is based on Windows 7) using Boot Camp. After I installed it, the I only have 3 resolution options, all of which are stretched. I checked the device manager and found that the Apple Instal DVD did not work and only a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" was installed. It also reports a whopping 16MB of graphics memory
I downloaded the "detect and install" driver utility from AMD (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx) and it detected my correct OS and downloaded something (driver maybe?). When I clicked install, I recieved this message: "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter."
I don't really know why Windows does not detect the graphics card. Right now I am trying to install the Intel graphics drivers for the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics... I will report back if I get the integrated graphics running...

No Stereo Mix

I have a Toshiba L755-S5254 running Windows 7. There is no stereo mix in the recording devices. I have right clicked to 'Show Disabled/Disconnected Devices' and stereo mix is not there. What gives?

If you are running Vista and Win 7 OS, you’re going to have trouble enabling Stereo Mix. I don’t know what soundcard is in your system but I got it to work with Conextant.

MSI 975X with Realtek HD drivers - cannot adjust recordin levels, stereo mix gra

Called MSI and they could not help me.
Have XP and 975X Power up board. I know there is a shortcoming in the Realtek software drivers as per what I read on Google. Have not found a fix, wonder if others have.
Recording Sliders (volume) are grayed out and not move-able (locked) for recording volume for anything except Master Volume.
Cannot adjust line-in volume or stereo mix for recording.
Ideas without putting in a 3rd party card?
Thought I had this working once but perhaps I never did.
Tried uninstall, reinstall, safe mode install, old drivers, new drivers, blowing away drivers, every checkbox under the sun. Thought I found a registry fix somewhere but I cannot find now.
Thanks so much
Peter

Hello Peter,

Recording Sliders (volume) are grayed out and not move-able (locked) for recording volume for anything except Master Volume.
This does not have anything to do with your mainboard. It is basically a limitation of the Realtek Sound Drivers for Windows XP. Google "Realtek Mixer XP" and look at the images you find. No individual recording sliders to be seen, no matter what board. Here is an ASUS Example Screenshot:
If you need to adjust microphone input volume, go to the Playback part of the mixer and scroll it to the right using the <> buttons until you find a slider for the jack you microphone is plugged in (compare picture above, I don't have an MSI Screenshot at hand). You can enable microphone boost here and adjust the input volume. The same is true for Line-In.
In case of microphone problems, make sure you microphone is calibrated. There is an application in the Realtek installation folders called "miccal.exe". Run it to calibrate your microphone.

No Stereo Mix in Audition 3.0 or Windows 7 - How to Fix?

I'm trying to record the stereo mix from my computer in Audition 3.0, unfortunately there is no "Stereo Mix" option in either Audition's Audio Settings or in the Windows Sound Controls. I've tried to "Show Disabled Devices" in Windows and yet there is no "Stereo Mix" option available. In turn, the drop-down menu in Audition's Audio Settings doesn't offer a "Stereo" option for recording, just the computer mic. How is it possible to fix this? Is it as simple as a plug-in for Windows, or am I missing something?
Screencap attached, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

--->Install the driver manufacturer's audio chipset. No the windows 7 driver.
Open the audio properties of windows 7
Right click on the tab within the recording
Show disabled devices
Enable the device you need
Double-clicking the device you will find the volume control recording
(the pictures I sent are in Catalan language)
(Not all audio chipsets are all options enabled)
(My english is not enougth to give you a better explanation)

My computer no longer has Stereo Mix / Wave Out Mix.

I bought an HP G60-443cl notebook computer about less than two years ago. It had Vista installed on it. I was able to record direct audio using Hypercam, FRAPS, Audacity, etc...... Then I reinstalled Vista and now the only sound I'm able to record is via microphone. I checked the sound and audio settings from the control panel. Under the recording tab, only microphone is listed. Nothing else is there even with disconnected and disabled checked. Did I install the right audio driver? I installed the Conexant SmartAudio 221 driver. I didn't bother looking into what audio driver i used before reinstalling Vista and I don't know who manufactured this laptop's sound card.

Hi,
Record What you Hear/Wave Mix/Stereo Mix on the PC (Example: Record a Song that is being Played in Windows Media Player or Online)
Start->Control panel->Sound, click ‘Recording’ tab above, right click on Empty Space on Recording Tab above, check ‘Show Hidden Devices’ and ‘Show Hidden Devices’, we will find ‘StereoMix’ entry, right click on it, click Enable, select it, and click ‘Set Default’ Button below to have the Green Check on.
Click Start->All Programs->Accessories->Sound Recorder, Play a Song/Video online, click Start Recording Button on Sound Recorder Window, once done, click Stop Recording Button, it will ask you to choose a Location to save the File. Go to the Location, and Play it to check if the issue is fixed.
Thank You.

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

Windows 7 missing Stereo Mix

I just bought an HP G60-519WM Notebook PC running windows 7 64-bit and I noticed that the stereo mix option it missing and I have searched for a couple hours now and cant find anything really. Is there any way that i can get stereo mix on my computer?

Dear ALL,
This Stero MIX problem has started with Vista and now windows 7.. And that this has nothing to do with SOUND DRIVERS whatsoever...
The reason Stero Mix disappears in Vista and Windows 7 has NOTHING to do with sound drivers at all.
Because this problem only happens to CERTAIN BRAND of LAPTOPS
This is because these BRANDS such as DELL, VAIO, ACER, etc.have signed an AGREEMENT with.The Music Recording Industry to TAKE STREO MIX off windows Vista and 7.. (HP should be OK)
That 's why you would find that other PC laptops BRANDS such as Fujitsu, Toshiba, ASUS etc.... Stereo MIX is still functioning well in Vista and Windows 7..
I worked as PC technician since 1994 .. and this is the first problem that NO ONE want to answer, even though THEY KNEW..
many customers have sent their written complaints to Microsoft, DELL, VAIO, ACER (now Gateway) (Me too) but they would try their best to be EVASIVE...but never explain even though THEY knew it.
If people want stereo Mix back...we must start CLASS ACTION.. by STOP BUYING these BRANDS (Vaio, Acer, Dell etc) and tell THEM OUT LOUD why we boycott them....
That's all.
In the mean time, if those people with DELL, ACER, VAIO want to use STERO MIX function , You can install VAC (Virtual Audio Cable) software.. http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
Or come back to Windows XP.. with XP Stereo MIX would work well in every PC
bye all
Ok Mr. "I've been a computer technician since 1994"... you are paranoid and talking of conspiracy. I built my own PC with parts from Newegg including Windows7 Professional OEM.
Why don't I have a "Stereo Mixer" with my installation. Nothing I have in my system comes from Dell, Acer, VAIO or any other Branded company. Class Action Are you kidding me? It's the software people's right to write the software how they want. If you want
to record, purchase some recording software and grow up.
Further, I would love some feedback on if ANYONE with Windows 7 (Not Vista) has been able to get the Stereo Mixer to show its face without 3rd party software/drivers. I am starting
to find/believe that Microsoft is truly behind this.
Edit: (Adding info)
ok, so, to update on this posting. It's not a Windows7 issue. At least, not directly. I just installed the drivers off my Motherboard CD and BAAMMM Stereo Mixer appeared. Let's get started on that Class Action (note sarcasm). After 11 years as an IT Professional
I'm better with simple audio then Choung above with his 17 years! :-)... Moving on.
So, what do we have?
My advise, Update your drivers. This may be harder for some than others. Device Manager will NOT always tell you what kind of sound chip you have. It will only tell you info based on the drivers you already have installed to help control the hardware. Use
the websites for your PC manufacture to do some research on what mother board you have. You can usually lookup that motherboard and get the audio drivers supported by it from the PC manufacture or the Motherboard manufacture support site.
Note: while writing this, I just fixed the issue on my wife's Dell Laptop. So it's
not a laptop issue either. Her laptop is only 1 month old.
I hope this helps peop. I'm sorry to be so harsh on Choung but really, get your facts before posting blind info.
amazing answer, that dude is seriously incorrect, i'll try updating my driver when i get home, thanks man. I have also been an IT professional for around 11 years, and i guess it's our generation that knows best! lol.

Satellite A100: audio stream recorder requires something called stereo mix

Trying to use an audio stream recorder/convertor program but it requires something called "stereo mix". The toshiba A100 does not appear to have this?? Help?
Tried downloading latest drivers from Tosh site for Realtek sound card but this has not made a difference.

Here's how to fix the problem.
1. You need a new driver in order to control the input signal given by any hardware (CD) or virtual source (WinAmp, streaming radio etc.). The driver you need is called Virtual Audio Cable that's able to connect and loop back any audio signal between any devices on your computer. You can check it out in a demo version before you buy it (price $30). Get more information and download it here: http://nrcde.ru/music/software/eng/vac.html
2. After instalation read and follow the "Simple cable usage" part of the manual very carefully and you're ready to record on your virtual recorder from any source you want. Please notice you have to have the "Audio repeater" open (and started) in order to hear the output on your computer speakers. If you have set up the Virtual Cable 1 to control your audio input, it should be chosen as Wave in in the Audio Repeater and Realtek HD Audio output should be chosen as Wave out. This is set automatically if you In control panel/sounds and devices/devices chose Virtual Cable 1 as standard device for record of sounds instead of Realtek HD Audio input and Realtek HD Audio output as standard device for playing sound.
3. Virtual Audio Cable mix any audio input including the Windows sounds. Select no sounds in Control panel/Sound and devices/sounds if you don't want to mix Windows sounds with your recording.
4. Advanced functions: You can manipulate and optimize the sound quality in the cable and audio repeater setup.
That's all - have fun
Sincerely Cornelius
PS. I have proved that my Satelite A100 can do the same as any other Windows computer with the Realtek driver instaled. It's the first time I have purchased third party software in order to get basic Windows sound functions to work.
