    On Vista where is the sound stereo mix on the windows volume contr

    Hi all,

    I am trying to record output from a music based software program called DJ
    Sam Party. I also want to record with my mic which is plugged into the mic
    input on the laptop and to have them recorded onto Adobe audition to be able
    to record a radio type show as in a DJ-ing format.

    But, I cannot find where to adjust the recording settings on Vista so that
    instead of Adobe Audition only recording the output from the microphone, but
    to also be able to record the output from DJ Sam Party.

    On Windows XP i noticed that its on the sound icon in the system tray and
    its called "stereo mix", but cannot find the same or where it is on Vista.
    Does anyone know???



    Thanks.

    Right-click the taskbar icon and go to Playback Devices. Double-click the
    Speakers, or whatever device, and the extra control tabs display.
    Or, Start/Control Panel/Hardware & Sound/Sound/Manage Audio Devices.
    Anything more sophisticated would I assume come via software for your sound
    card.

    Use the Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab > Right click on the
    background and choose "show disabled devices." > Right click on Wave Out Mix
    (Stereo Mix) and click enable. It should now work the same way as Wave Out
    Mix (Stereo Mix) in Windows XP, allowing you to record the sounds your
    computer plays.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your replies and helpful advice. I'm new to microsoft community
    after a friend advised me to try this site for help on vista. Reading through
    the other posts previously it seems stereo mix on Vista is a bit of a bug
    bearer. I hope and pray I'm one of the fortunate ones that can change the
    sound settings and get stereo mix!! Will let you know as my laptop is in my
    room upstairs but don't yet have access to the internet on it. Will update
    you all with hopefully some good news!!


    Thanks!
