I'm generally not satisfied with the quality that windows gives in sound recording and time restrictions is of course a drawback.
I have recently discovered a good MP3 Recorder, that is pretty easy to use, with pause datection function and records directly in mp3.
hi there - am I a dunce? I have disabled/disconnected devices checked and I still can't put my hands on the soundcard to record from it
Apologies if I'm a fool but any help would be gratefully received..
Installing the correct drivers worked for me. I have a DFI, and 7 picked up drivers for the soundcard, but they were generic. As soon as I installed the correct drivers, I was able to record from the stereo mix.
Mikkey's sound card is SigmaTel, and there have been other complaints that the drivers for this brand do not support Stereo Mix. Some computers seem to have Stereo Mix disabled no matter what. Fortunately Realtek High Definition does support Stereo Mix with the correct drivers, so this is something to look out for when buying a new computer.
1. Click the Start Button, type "MMSYS.CPL" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box and press Enter.
2. On Recording tab, right-click on the blank area
3. Check “Show Disabled Devices” and “Show Disconnected Devices” and the Stereo Mix should show up.
If it is disabled, right click on it and choose Enable.
Following the instructions given in this thread should allow Stereo Mix recording as long as the sound card allows it. If you have followed the instructions and still cannot find Stereo Mix, it may be that the card does not allow it. Realtek does allow Stereo Mix recording with the up to date drivers, but I can't comment on other sound cards.
Beyond that, it may be a question of playing around with the volume and recording levels until the desired results are achieved, which sometimes takes a while.
