HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)I downloaded a program that allows you to record any audio coming out of your computer. And I understand you must select "Stereo Mix" as your input option. The only problem is I don't frickin have the "Stereo Mix" option. And I tried going to the "Volume Control" -> "Properties" -> "Recording" and all of that and the Stereo Mix is not there!!! So I am not looking for someone to help me to find it. Because I simply don't have it. I am looking for someone to tell me how I can get it.

Re: HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)How to modify the installation package of SoundMax driver to enable the Stereo Mix option
Then you need to install the driver with the modified .inf file. Please note that you need the Admin privileges in order to install the driver. The easiest way to install the driver is probably by running W1254624J_XP32\setup.exe. Just double-click the setup.exe and follow the instructions on your screen. If you already have a previous version of the driver installed, you can update in from the Control Panel:
p.s. This solution works for the AD1986, AD 1988 chips, but doesn't seem to work for the AD1983 chip that my Dell Optiplex 745 has. |

Re: HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)After a long search I ended up here, I am running Windows Vista with Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio, driver version 6.10.1.6030. I downloaded the driver again from my laptop manufacturer and changed every "Disable Stereo Mixer" value of "01" to "00" (around 6 of them in the "ADIHdAud.inf" file. Deinstalled the drivers then rebooted, quickly installed the driver and stopped the windows automatically driver install (quickly accessing task management ctrl+alt+del and ending the process) then ran the setup. I now can use the feature "stereo mix" by unhiding it and activating it in configuration/sound/record devices.
Thank you for finding this out! |

Re: HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)follow these instruction and it will work for windows 7
workaround to get the Stereo Mix in the record tab. First download the latest driver and unpack it, probably at c:\dell\driver\R..... open the folder i386 \ SMAXWND \ W2k_XP \ , it has a file in it called "ADIHdAud.inf" . Open this file with notepad and search for these 2 lines: HKR,AD1983\\Disable, OutR, 1, 01 HKR,AD1983\\Disable, MonR, 1, 01 change the 01 into 00 at both lines so it looks like: HKR,AD1983\\Disable, OutR, 1, 00 HKR,AD1983\\Disable, MonR, 1, 00 Now uninstall your sound drivers, reboot pc, go directly back to the folder where you uninstalled the driver (the folder with the R(number)) and run Setup.exe (it might complain that the files might not be genuine, if so ignore it), reboot after installation and you got Stereo Mix and Mono available. They both work perfect for me. What really blows me away is that if you look at the code in the inf file is that stereo mix is disabled ON PURPOSE, my question is why??? Also go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cl ass\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0005\AD1983\Disable\ which had the two values: MonR and OutR... both set to "0000 01" combined with the solution from this page, I simply changed those values to "0000 00" and restarted. Stereo mix and Mono Out are no enabled. and reinstall audicity |

Re: HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)Thanks for these postings! I have a Dell Optiplex 745 running XP with SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio. The driver linked in the first reply wouldn't install for me, I just got the message "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware". I checked out my existing ADIHdAud.inf file (in Dell\Drivers\R243724\i386\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP) and it lists AD 1983 and 1984, so I must have one of those chips. It also has no "Disable Stereo Mixer" lines, but it did have several "Disable, OutR, 1, 01" lines, so I changed them all to end with 00, saved the file, uninstalled the existing driver, rebooted, reinstalled it by running Dell\Drivers\R243724\i386\setup.exe, rebooted, and voila, I now have the Stereo Mix recording option!!!

Re: HELP! I have no Stereo Mix (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio, Windows XP)SOLUTION for everyone missing the Stereo Mix feature.
I've have been following this topic for 2 years and finally found something that works. Go to CNET and download Freecorder. It's pretty basic but works in Windows 7 anyway for me. It only has a small window saying "listening" that stays open until you start say a song on a web radio station, then it will change to "Recording" When the song is finished, you hover over the small window and "stop recording" appears and you click it. Before you do all this, find the settings program in the start/all programs area and change the file destination to what you want. The only bad thing is the file name is the date/time of the recording so you need to rename it....but at least it seems to work for me ok with good quality. |

Recommend this solution for 745s. Uninstall via comp/dev manager or run Dell\Drivers\RXXXXXX\i386\setup.exe and select uninstall Also fyi the ; means that the text afterwards is disregarded. So if you use the original solution, you only change the text to enable for identification of what you have changed. It makes no real difference. It's the 01 to 00 that makes the difference. Picked this up modding gta4 Thanks to everyone for this solution Peace |
