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.

  • Stereo Mix and Audition CC

    So I know there are a couple threads floating around talking about Stereo Mix and recording What You Hear issues that have been going on now for quite a while. I think my issue is slightly different. My company has recently switched from CS5 (using Soundbooth) to CC (which uses Audition). When using Soundbooth I had no problem setting up, recording and playing audio captured through Stereo mix. For some reason in Audition, this seems to be impossible. No hardware changes were made.
    Windows7
    Realtek Audio Driver: 6.0.1.6602
    Any advice?

    This shouldn't be anything to do with Auditiion which simply records what the sound card (and associated software) in your computer hands it.  If your sound card offers "Stereo Mix:" (or What U Hear or any of the other names used over the years) then Audition will record it.  If Stereo Mix isn't available on your Windows audio recording panel then you're out of luck.  The problem most of us have is that, under pressure from the RIAA, Microsoft and the computer manufacturers have dropped support for this from the OS.
    Were there any other system changes when you upgraded to Audition CC?  An upgrade from XP or Vista to Windows 7 for example?
    If not, then it should still be there.  Go to the Recording control panel in Windows and select Stereo mix as your default source.  If you don't see it offered, right click on the white area of the control panel (i.e. away from any existing source) and put a tick next to both "show diabled devices:" and "show disconnected devices".  If Stereo mix is now shown, select it as default.
    After this, in Audition, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware Setup.  Select MME as the device type and Stereo mix as your Default input here too.
    This should do it...but it all depends on Stereo Mix appearing on that Windows list.  If it doesn't, then there's nothing you can do about it except maybe buy something like Virtual Audio Cable--but the change wasn't in Soundbooth/Audition.  Somehow your Windows installation was altered.

  • 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

  • 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".

  • 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)

  • Setting Stereo Mix to default recording device on Windows 8 HP Envy Ultrabook Kills Speakers

    When I try setting Stero Mix to be my default recording device, the audio playback always cuts off after about 5-10 seconds or so. When it cuts off it doesn't sound good - it sounds like my speakers fry themselves to a quick and painful death if you can imagine that sound (ok, maybe i'm exagerrating).
    Sometimes I have to reboot in order to hear any audio again on this ultrabook. Other times the audio will come back on its own after some time (it may always comes back over time, but most times i'm impatient so I reboot).
    Is anyone else with my config able to set Stereo Mix to be the default recordgin and still retain a workable playback device? Anything else I can try?
    I have the HP Envy Ultrabook laptop with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
    Thanks,

    I have since discovered stereo mix works when the laptop is plugged in. If it's unplugged it still will not work even though the setting "continue using while on battery power" is checked in the properties. If this is by-design I suppose I can live with this.

  • Realtek stereo mix driver missing - G72-b63NR

    After reinstallation of Win7, the stereo mix option is missing in control panel/sound/recording devices. The microphone option is there, and works, but I can't get the stereo mix back (can't record streaming, youtube, etc)

    Wiped the hard drive, restored to out of the box state, and the driver is now present.

  • Windows XP Stereo Mix Issue

    Hey guys,
    I've been rummaging through a whole bunch of different forums for a fix to my problem, a little too lazy to actually post since I'm in doubt of an answer most of the time, regardless, here's my dilemma.
    I have Windows XP Home SP2 I think and everything works great. I play Modern Warfare 2 on it, fantastic, sound works, mic works, except, Stereo Mix. When I'm using something like FRAPS or in my case WeGame (which is a free alternative, but the case is the same for any similar program), I have no recording option for the computers audio (What you hear). The machine's a 27" iMac i5, and I've switched to the Cirrus Logic HD Audio devices since the ATI one doesn't seem to work, or even have a recording option. I've repeatedly gone and checked the recording options for the Cirrus card and only SPDIF, Line, and Microphone are available, none of which produce my computers ingame sound when I record, only my microphone.
    A solution or foot-boost would be great, since I'm completely lost at this point for what to do. I've tried to make the ATI card work with Realtek drivers, still doesn't work.

    Thank You B Noir for the helping hand in reapiring my problem in loading Itunes.
    I ended up working with an Apple Service Tech who had me delete all the programs associated with the Apples Itune install. Quicktime, Apple Application Support, Apple Modile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Software Update.
    Each of the programs were un-installed with no issues until we started the uninstall of Apple Software Update, which your note indicated could be a cause for the install issue.
    Using the Windows program "Fixit" downloaded off the Microsoft website, we determined that the registry keys for this program had become corrupted. We used Fixit filtering down to an install repair module inside if Fixit to remove the damaged program from my PC's registry then Fixit uninstalled the Apple Software Update program.
    Once this was done, we were able to successfully instal Itunes using the latest Itunes install packaged found on the Apple website.
    Thanks Again for your advice.

    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.

  • 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 can I connect an older Realistic stereo mixer to my 2006 Macbook?

    I am a musician and producer and just got "LiveWire CMR-210" cords at Guitar Center today. One is gray and the other is red, and the end has a jack that can connect to your headphone jack or line-in on your computer. I also have a Realistic stereo mixer, it's a little bit older, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be able to connect to computers. My laptop is a 2006 Macbook running Snow Leopard. I would like to know how to connect my mixer to my Macbook and use it with VirtualDJ and Garageband, and if possible use it in iTunes.
    Thank you in advance for your help. I'm new to Macs but I love my Mac so much already after learning how to use them.
