  1. Stereo mix showing but not showing audio


    A potential solution for those who use digital outputs to a separate sound system for your sounds rather than speakers or headphones, and have tried all the normal suggestions when Stereo Mix shows up on the recording tab, but shows no audio, and programs such as Audacity won't record a signal.


    I use digital optical out from my sound card Realtek High Definition Audio to my sound system. There are therefore no speakers connected, and no speakers show in the sound settings. And no audio showing in Stereo Mix.


    However, connecting headphones instantly solves the problem - stereo mix shows audio, programs like Audacity can record again plugging headphones in the headphones jack makes no difference to the digital optical output signal = does not mute it.


    I would be really interested to know why Stereo Mix will not show audio if there are no speakers or headphones connected.

    :)

    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 Your audio chipset drivers may be outdated, that's why Stereo Mix does not appear in the list of devices.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.

  3. Microphone not showing, only stereo mix

    So this started a couple days ago, my microphone driver simply just disappeared when i logged on. On the sound control panel it now only shows the stereo mix, which to point out that this is the first time i have seen this stereo mix on this pc show up,
    i dont have a need for a stereo mix. I tried downloading drivers for my microphone on my manufacturers web page and assist app, and nothing comes up, it just says everything is downloaded. Ive tried downloading the audio drivers on the realtek page, and when
    i download it and restart my pc, the stereo mix is still the only thing there. I tried troubleshooting my recording audio and it just says that my microphone needs to be setup. But when setting up on the control panel i need a microphone in the recording tab,
    but i dont have a microphone driver there. Ive tried deleting all the audio drivers and restarting my pc. Yesterday i did it and everything went back to normal, it showed my mic and headphones on the panel again, but then right after it fixed it, it showed
    a notification i needed to restart my pc to finish downloading the drivers and when i restarted it, it reverted back to just having the stereo mix. I have been fighting this and trying to find out what is wrong for the past week and at this point im beat and
    really frustrated. Someone got an idea what's going on?
