Why the Stereo Mix is disabled on Lenovo Thinkpads & How to enable it?Hi,
As evidenced in previous threads here and around the internet, recording via stereo mix has been removed from most new Lenovo Thinkpads, at present the x6x/t6x series, that i am aware of. Threads have been started, users have tried to take the matter into their own hands trying to hack the drivers, and Lenovo has not responded at all, People have tried to contact tech support about the matter & they are equally clueless. This feature was re-enabled in subsequent drivers with Dell & the Sigmatel 92xx drivers, but I don't know how to enable the Stereo Mix on my Lenovo Thinkpad. An easy solution for some is an additional soundcard, which i think is ridiculous considering the amount of money spent on these machines, but for some machines that isn't even a viable solution, the pcmcia controller on some t6x & x6x models are incompatible with popular pcmcia soundcards and users have reported that usb solutions don't work either. I've also tried software solutions like Virtual Audio Cable & Total Recorder and they are not acceptable solutions for me, simply because they don't work. Affected configurations Any of the following Lenovo ThinkPad systems running on Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows XP with the following configurations are affected: ThinkPad R61, R61i ThinkPad T61, T61p ThinkPad X61, X61s, X61 tablet ThinkPad X200 ThinkPad X300, X301 ThinkPad R400, R500 ThinkPad T400, T500 ThinkPad W500 Symptom #1: There is no Stereo Mix function in the Recording tab under Sound settings in current ThinkPads. (This function existed in some previous ThinkPads.) Symptom #2: There is no Microphone option in the Levels tab under Sound settings, Speakers Properties in current ThinkPads. (This function existed in some previous ThinkPads.) Official reply from Lenovo support: Quote:

Re: Why the Stereo Mix is disabled on Lenovo Thinkpads & How to enable it?If Lenovo is not going to release drivers for you, you can find out what sound card is used on your computer and try drivers from other vendors that use the same sound card.
You can find more solutions in the following thread: Missing sound recording option "Stereo Mix" / "Record What you hear" / "Waveout mix" Or you can use software that doesn't need Stereo Mix for recording: Audio/video recording software that allows to record sound without WaveOut/Stereo Mix |
