Windows 10: Did Microsoft stopped stereo mix from working?

Did Microsoft stop stereo mix from working?

:)

 

Stereo mix stopped working

So I record with an elgato HD60 but in order to get the sound to work I have to use stereo mix and that's what I do but for some reason it just stopped picking up sound! I have tried so many websites and forums but nothing what do I do? (stereo mix still
can play sound like if I play music directly to stereo mix but I want it to pick up the computer audio)

 

Stereo Mix stopped working

I've connected my TV to the HDMI port on my motherboard. I have set up the Stereo Mix so it "listens" and playback through the HDMI device.
When I play something - the sound doesn't go through to the TV and there's no indication the Stereo Mix is working.
If I change my *playback* device to HDMI - it works, so the cable and TV are not the problem.

Weirdest part is that it used to work, but at a certain point in time it just stopped working.

I am running Windows 10, ver. 1909, build 18363.778

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1:

Try the following steps to enable the stereo mix and check if that help.



a) Right click on the audio icon in your system tray and select “Recording Devices” to open the Recording device settings in the “Sound” window.



b) In the pane, right-click on a blank area, and make sure both “View Disabled Devices” and “View Disconnected Devices” options are checked. You should be able to see the “Stereo Mix” option appearing.



c) Right-click on “Stereo Mix” and click “Enable” to be able to use it.



This should enable the “Stereo Mix” on Windows



Method 2:

If the issue persists then I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the sounds card driver and check if it helps.

• 
  Right Click on Start, Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall.
  
• 
  Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.

  Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
  OK to remove the driver.
