ok, this is getting annoying.

remember when i posted a topic about not having sound on camcorder? well i decided to try and fix it again. i have v2.0. i found something that said i need stereo mix, a sound device. it said that it isnt enabled, and that i need to go enable it. but it wasnt there to be enabled. (ergo...Start -> Control panel -> Devices and sound -> sound -> Recording -> no devices are shown -> right click background of tab -> show disabled devices -> nothing happened)

 

i looked for some way to download it, i found a driver for it, but its nearly 100MB, and i dont feel like waiting for it to download, then extract from its zip, only to find that there are tons of files, and i have no idea where to put them. not to mention the person who provided the link said it doesnt work on all computers, and my computer has a tendency to have things not work.

 

apparently, stereo mix comes with windows 7. not for me. this isnt he only thing that was missing from my laptop that everyone else seemed to have.

 

i have a dell inspiron b130 laptop with windows 7 32-bit. im not sure what the other missing things are, but thats not important. (but im sure they include microsoft office)

 

does anyone have a solution to this? ive looked everywhere, but to no avail :(

Have you upgraded from Windows XP to windows 7? or did the laptop come with Windows 7?

 

If so, that could be the issue. Apparently there are some compatibility issues with older audio hardware in windows 7/Vista; and upgrading from XP to 7 could kill the stereo mix. If this is the case, there is not much you can do; other than replace the sound card

yea it used to be xp. i just hope its easier to replace my sound card than it is to replace my graphics card.

 

thanks though
