Windows 10: Build 10547 - Stereo Mix Present, but No Audio Levels

With Stereo Mix enabled in the sound panel, and chosen as default recording device, and drivers confirmed as updated as the system reports, HP Probook 6470b not seeing audio levels on Stereo Mix bus.

I have used this successfully with Adobe Audition in Win7/Pro to record audio from technical support web seminars.

At present while the speakers work fine, there is no audio showing on the level meter in the sound panel for Stereo Mix..

I did find a sort of workaround with Audacity 2.1, using the WASAPI Audio Host, and basically looping the speakers back as an input device. It is recording audio that way, although I am not yet convinced as to highest available quality and stereo separation.

I would like to get the Stereo Mix bus feeding audio as it has in the past. I do recall that with an original install of Win7/Pro the Stereo Mix was not present, and by selecting "show disabled devices" I was then able to see it, and then enable. This is not the case here, as it not only is visible, but enabled as the default recording device. However...no levels present.

Anyone seeing this, and more importantly, any constructive thoughts as to a remedy. Or is this a bug in Win 10?

Output audio to multiple devices in Windows 10

Earlier with the help of stereo mix option it was possible to output the audio to different devices. However the stereo mix option is removed now.

Is there any other way to send audio output to 2 different devices in windows 10?

Or possibly get stereo mix option again

 

volume problem

Hi manwinder,



This matter is presently under investigation. However, here are some tips that might help you to prevent this thing from happening.



1. Avoid having both mono and stereo songs on playlist.

-In the mixing of stereo and mono mp3 files, there will be a mix of multiple audio streams.

-Whether the audio file is mono or stereo, can be checked by using PC and e.g. VLC player, Mediainfo, etc. program that displays technical information about media files.



2. Avoid adjusting volume right after skipping songs (if you have both mono and stereo tracks on playlist).



The best action for this as of the moment is by rebooting your device if this issue occurs.



Hope this helps.
