[resolved]Stereo Mix unable and cannot be enabled

TaiDinh · 06-17-2007, 10:48 AM

My motherboard is a Gigabyte DS3 965P rev 3.3. I am currently using on-board audio and have Realtek HD Audio installed.

With the HD audio, my FRAPS and other desktop recorders are unable to record sounds. Why? My Stereo Mix in the Recording Control is grayed out and there's no way for me to enable it.

What should I do?

Have you been into BIOS and made sure that it is enabled ?

Quite frequently when something is greyed out the reason is that something can't be found .. like the hardware

There is nothing in BIOS that is related to audio. I have also took the chance to enable everything in BIOS, but it was not a solution.
