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!

I have fixed the stereo problem.I went back to H/P and asked them to fix it. and they updated the bios and updated the audio driver.Lokks like it's an older driver but it works fine and I have my stero back.The update for the bios is the fix,along with update driver.

I believe these computer companies have teamed up with the musical industry to remove this feature. I think Toshiba or Samsung, last time I checked, stereo is still available in Windows 7.
Ummm...I went to HP and the tech went into the bios and update ,then update the drivers for the sound card and presto it is fixed.I had to pay then 100 bucks foe extended coverage for my old laptop but thats O.K. it's worth the coverage and to know they will help in the futurama. This old computer has been thru the mill and still works good.I think it has more to do with the OS than the hardware.
