Vista Using Recording Audio

Hello

I've been using Windows XP for a long time and using the sound control system I've been able to switch the setting sound (which was realtek) to recording and set it to recording > stereo mix. I'm just wondering if there's any way of changing that for Vista because I don't have them options, infact the only ones I can change are my microphone, my default volume settings which is no good but there's an input called "digitalin" which again, i can't change the settings to, but I'm sure this is what I can use to stream my music on an online site like stickam.

Any ideas?

Hi xspudx,

The "stereo mix" or "what you hear" recording function is an advanced setting that is added to certain 3rd party sound drivers, It would appear that this was added to the XP drivers you were using but not to the drivers you have for Vista,

I can only suggest that you check the supplier of your Sound card or system, for on-board sound, to see if they have a vista driver which provides the function you require.

Unfortunately a lot of manufacturers only developed basic sound drivers for vista, for older cards, ( a very relative term :( ), so you may find that these are not available :(.

Over the last year or so I have only seen one realtek driver which included this functionality so it may be a case of using a slightly older Vista driver

im using standard realtek vista drivers 2.15 and if you enable "show disabled devices" in recording devices window, you get this V, simply right click it and enable it, you now have stereo mix
