no stereo mix option,help?
I switched to Windows 7 with SP1 after Win XP but I noticed after installing Realtek newest drivers for my motherboard (it has ALC662 realtek audio chip) I don't have anymore option to record external sound from stereo mix,and in fact I don't even see stereo mix option in mixer so I can not activate it.All this worked normally in Windows XP but not in 7.
What do I need to do to be able to record external sound from my sound card,where has "stereo mix" option dissapear | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

Hi paparazzo79 and welcome to Windows 7 Forums 
Stereo Mix is still available, however it needs to be enabled. Right-click the speaker icon in the Notification Area and choose Recording Devices from the pop-up menu. The Stereo Mix option should be displayed, if not you might need to scroll until it shows. If you don't see it, this means that it is hidden or disconnected. Right-click on the dialogue panel and check both Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built, N/A

Some sound cards do NOT support stereo mix, regardless of settings.
You can try older drivers--XP or Vista--in compatibility mode. That works in some cases.
If not, you would need to buy another internal or external sound card that is known to support stereo mix in Windows 7. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one
