The green volume bar never shows there being any sound. The problem is Stereo Mix is just not picking up any sound whatsoever,

My headset is quite unique in that it has two separate audio devices, one for communication apps and the other for everything else - but I'm not interested in stereo mix picking up the chat. Recording (disconnected & disabled hidden) Playback (disconnected & disabled hidden) gone into realtek driver settings and changed the playback settingsīelow are screenshots of my sound control panel.

set the correct device as default (it already was) This is beside the point however as stereo mix is quite simply not picking I want to use stereo mix to output my sound to two different headsets simultaneously, by using "listen to device" on stereo mix, with it outputting stereo mix to the second headset. I have done countless searches, most of them lead to how to enable stereo mix and the few that actually recognize the problem I have seem to not have a posted solution.After clearing two google pages of forum posts it has became clear to me that this is a very common problem, but the common fixes aren't working for me. I am on Realtek High Definition Audio and my driver is all up to date. That is when I had to disable the other in order to get one to work. What's weird was, when I was in Skype, pressing one function to be the default did not change what picked up sound. Same with the stereo mix if the Mic is set to default and I play sounds.

When stereo mix is set, the microphone levels (the little green bars) are nonexistent as I run my finger past the mic or blow into it.

When setting as the default device, that particular option will work, and the other will not. I either have to disable one to get the other work, or set one as the "Default Device". I've always had stereo mix enabled and I believe it's worked fine in the past, but recently it's acting up.įor some reason, only the Microphone or Stereo mix work one at a time. I recently came to a sound hiccup when I wanted to set my live stream to record audio and video from my desktop (video works fine no question), but speak to my viewer(s) on skype with my microphone.
