Windows 10: Sound picking up mic and stereo mix

hi!

A few days ago people started hearing my stereo mix as well as my normal mic on Discord, i recorder on windows recorder to test it, and i hear indeed both sounds.

I have Stereo mix disabled, and all other options i could find, but it is still doing it.

I have a Hyperx cloud headset. I changed mic to test, and it does seem to be a little less but people still hear it, so it does seem to be a setting somewhere i must have missed.

After testing many things i come here for help Hope someone has a fix!

Thank you!

Input (mic) Stereo Mix (realtek) not picking up sound through Mic

Acer Predator PH315-52
Windows 10 Home 1909

When I have my sound input set to Stereo Mix (realtek) i can pickup and record or broadcast anything playing internally like youtube or my music files however the external mic wont pick up any sound externally like my voice. Then if I set my input to Microphone Array (realtek) I get the exact opposite result, doesn't pick up internal sound but picks up my external sounds (voice). Any specific settings come to mind to resolve this?

 

Stereo mix not picking up any sound

After clearing two google pages of forum posts it has became clear to me that this is a very common problem, but the common fixes aren't working for me.

I want to use stereo mix to output my sound to two different headsets simultaneously, by using "listen to device" on stereo mix, with it outputting stereo mix to the second headset. This is beside the point however as stereo mix is quite simply not picking
up any sound.

I have:

-updated realtek audio drivers

-set the correct device as default (it already was)

-gone into realtek driver settings and changed the playback settings

-cried

Below are screenshots of my sound control panel.

Playback (disconnected & disabled hidden)





Recording (disconnected & disabled hidden)





My headset is quite unique in that it has two separate audio devices, one for communication apps and the other for everything else - but I'm not interested in stereo mix picking up the chat. The problem is Stereo Mix is just not picking up any sound whatsoever,
the green volume bar never shows there being any sound.

 

Windows 10 Stereo Mix

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.
  
• 
  After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible
