Best Answer: How Do I Get Stereo Mix on Windows 10?
Contents

Go down to the audio icon in your system tray, right-click it, and go to “Recording Devices” to open up the proper settings pane. In the pane, right-click on a blank area, and make sure both “View Disabled Devices” and “View Disconnected Devices” options are checked. You should see a “Stereo Mix” option appear.

Why do I not have stereo mix?

Your audio chipset drivers may be outdated, that’s why Stereo Mix does not appear in the list of devices. We suggest checking the device manufacturer if there are available updates for the drivers. Once you’re done updating the audio chipset drivers, check again if the missing device will appear.

Does Windows 10 support stereo mix?

I don’t think Stereo Mix was ever technically removed – it was a driver-specific feature only supported by specific hardware. I’ve still seen it on some Windows 10 PCs, but it’s not as common these days as it used to be. Many sound-cards (particularly onboard sound cards) don’t have this support.
