Sigmatel Audio - No 'Wave Out/Stereo Mix' option
Hello everyone,
I have a Dell Vostro 1500 with onboard Sigmatel sound. I do a little djing, and occasionally hear something in a video or TV show that I'd like to use as a sample to throw into my sets.
In XP I used to do this with Audacity - I'd set it to record 'Wave Out', press record, play the video file and voila - perfectly recorded sound.
As far as I am aware, the Wave Out/Stereo Mix option was not included with the standard Dell Sigmatel drivers, so in order to do this there was a workaround in XP whereby you could install LG drivers which would give you the 'Wave Out' option, so you could record directly from the soundcard.
Since installing Windows 7, I've tried the standard Dell drivers and the LG drivers for Sigmatel, but have been entirely unable to get the 'Wave Out' option. I don't really want to use a recording program such as Total Recorder as I've had issues with it in the past and like the simplicity of the system I used with Audacity.
When I right click the speaker icon in the system tray, then choose 'Recording Devices', the 2 options I see are 'Microphone / Line In' and 'Microphone Array'. I've tried right clicking and selecting 'Show disabled devices' but nothing more shows up.
So... does anytone know if there are there any Sigmatel drivers out there that can enable this function or any other workaround for W7 to achieve it?
Thanks for reading, apologies for the long post.
Cheers,
Tom.
