I have a Sony Vaio (NW11SS), however the best work around is to install Linux – you are now master of your hardware and all is good. Realtek cripple their drivers at Sony’s behest but the hardware function is still there. Sony do this shit with ATI drivers so you cannot install the generic video drivers but there are some nice folks on the internet that publish hacked drivers to remove the blacklisting, it would be nice if they could have a look at the Realtek drivers and remove the blacklisting check there.

Dear Sony,

I will never buy another of your shit products again as you try to shaft the consumer and break their applications all because you want to sell crap teeny bop records at inflated prices.

start browser on a no media site (e.g. google.com)
start freecorder from browser toolbar
start playing any sound with any software
- freecorder will record

…can you only record sound through aninternet browser? I’m trying to record a song while I’m mucking about with it “live” and all I can find are some FLV player since I didn’t install the browser parts.
I really miss Stereo mix, was great for recording songs while I was improvising..

Hi Nihar,

I’ve dropped an email about the VAC. I’m also interested in the VAC too. Appreciate if you can share it with me as well. Thanks.

@bribe, VAC is the best solution that i know. If you are happy, you can go and purchase the product.

yes, I did and it seemed to work as promissed. however, the free version plays this annoying “trial” sound every few seconds and I hate the idea, that I would have to pay for such a basic function even though I already spent so much money on a Thinkpad, believing that the high price would keep such troubles away from me apparently, that was naive… so, no driver-based solution? anyone?
thank you so far and merry christmas

@bribe, Did you check my other post Use VAC (Virtual Audio Cable). Why don’t you try that.

hi folks,
i also have the same problem with my ThinkPad T510i, “conexant 20585 smartaudio hd” soundcard. after days of ineffective google and youtube searches i found this post and hope that you can also help me.
which driver could i use for my system to get the stereo mix enabled in the recording device section?

just to go sure: yes, i made sure that disabled devices are shown in this section and yes, i do have the latest manufacturer’s driver installed.

if you don’t know about a suitable driver: i heard that there’s a way to solve this which involves changes in the registry. any knowledge abou that?

thank you so very much in advance, you are my last hope!
PS: i’m a musician and desperately need the option to get the stereo mix signal into audio editing programs.
