Windows 10: Stereo Mix missing.

Greeting. The OS is windows 11, and the device is a gaming HP laptop.I tried to turn on the computer's Stereo Mix, but I didn't find it in the record. I tried to update the driver according to the information on the Internet, but the system told me "The best drivers for your devices are already installed".I want to know is there something wrong with my hardware?For example, when using Discord, the microphone usually cannot record the built-in sound of the computer. Friends can only hear the sound when I share a specific window.Also, when I try to make the computer play music in the record sett

:)

 

Stereo Mix is missing!

Stereo mix is missing from the recording devices list.

I have already selected to show disabled devices. And for some weird reason it shows a line-input on the "back" of the machine,s which obviously is not there, great work HP.

 

Stereo Mix Not Showing

It appears that the driver is not recognized by the computer. Your audio chipset drivers may be outdated, that's why Stereo Mix does not appear in the list of devices. We suggest checking the device manufacturer if there are available updates for the drivers.

Once you're done updating the audio chipset drivers, check again if the missing device will appear.

Let us know how it turns out.
