No Stereo Mix in Windows 7 Please Help!

I've read all over on the internet but none of the solutions help me. I use Stereo Mix to send sounds over MSN using the record button as well as using the mic. The mic works fine in 7 and stereo mix used to work in windowsxp and vista but now in windows 7 on the same machine (Acer 4420 notebook) there is no stereo mix. I go into the sound control panel then right click and say

Show disabled devices

Show disconnected devices

and all that shows up is the monitor microphone, the microphone sound card jack and line-in. I need Stereo Mix to work in Windows 7.

I've written for help on the microsoft answers board twice now and they ignored me, I've asked on yahoo answers, they ignored me. I even wrote to realtek and they have ignored me as well twice now, I will be contacting the better business bureau to complain about customer service if I cannot reach a solution. I have been trying to find a solution for a month now!

    Dear All,

    Microsoft possibly discontinued the stereo mixer on demand from

    their software allies.

    The only solution is add in a "Stereo Mix Plus or Virtual audio cable" is a software tool to fix & enhance the stereo mix feature of your sound card.

    Please Google for this and add it on your laptops.

    I found this solution a long time back, after a lot of R&D on this subject.
