Windows 10: Issue trying to record all audio in windows (10)

Hi, I am trying to record all outgoing audio but I can't get it to work.


Set-up; I have a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (usb audio interface) connected via usb.

In the windows-mixer this Focusrite has been selected as the ''standard'' output-device. The audio-scale visible on the right show reaction to the audio-signals produced (f.i. winamp or youtube).

In the recording-tab of the windows-mixer this device is also selected as ''standard'' device. Unfortunately the audio-scales show no sign of life here.


Probably this prevents me from recording all audio, I presume.

* all audio played is clearly hearable via headphones and connected amplifier

* The volume-level in the properties of this recording-device are on 100%

* There are three devices available in the recording-tab with a scale on the right-side. None of them show any signal to the audio produced.


Any tips on solving this issue will be very appreciated


thanks in advance
