Windows 10: Stereo Mix showing up, but not outputting any sound?

I got Stereo Mix in the sound settings to show up after many tries and finally figured out that I needed to install new audio drivers for my sound card, and it was working for a day. I had it so it was listening through my speakers so my speakers could act as a microphone input. Then, I got on my PC today and I didn't change any settings but it would just not output any sound through stereo mix. I tried restarting, changing listening devices, unplugging, and pretty much everything. Do any of you know how I can fix this?

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 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.
