    First, you have SigmaTel as in your listed System Specs (assuming you are referring to this PC). I'm surprised the Realtek installed. I'm surprised the E521 works well with Win 7. I used to have an E510 and I upgraded it from XP to Vista but no further since it was limited to 4GB of RAM.

    I just tested my system, with Realtek and the Stereo Mix and the Sound Recorder recorded what I was playing. I played a song file using the Windows Media Player as the source. But, since its Stereo Mix any sound source that you hear on the PC speakers should record. I don't use the Sound Recorder as I have a computer based Recording Studio (Sonar) and any recordings other than with Sonar I use Goldwave (an audio editor). I would suggest you get the free "Audacity" for any recording. Its full featured and even has some audio editing features.

    I wonder if the Tunebite is causing any problems. Temporarily disable that in the device manager, for testing and see what happens. I don't see anything else in the Device Manager that potentially would cause any problems.

    In case there is some type of Windows OS corruption with the RealTek, go to the Device Manager and uninstall RealTek, but DO NOT uninstall the drivers. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will detect and reinstall the sound. If there were any corruptions this should fix it.

    If the uninstall/reinstall did not fix the problem. If you have the install program for Tunebite, uninstall it, restart the PC and then see what happens. On the outside chance even if its disabled it could still interfere. It may not be the problem, but at this point anything is open for testing.
