So that's where I've tried first - but I've tried the same for. Of course I've always as well put same keys for as well for "ControlSet001" and ".2" and each time have rebootet. but doesn't work for me (Įven I've tried same values for several other places in the regestry: I've tried it carefully with my T410 and even removed the driver updated with newest version and have tried everything. Luckily, for the Conexant sound card on my laptop, the procedure to enable the stereo mixer feature was comparatively straightforward.įirst, right-click on the "Sound" icon in the system tray and select "Recording devices": The procedure is frequently complicated and is different for various soundcard chipset families. Unfortunately, to enable the "Stereo Mixer" feature is not as simple as ticking a checkbox. What's the sound of one hand clapping There's nothing Zen-like about that question for those of us who've come up against a strange and surprisingly common audio bug in Windows 7. So after much Googling around, I found out that for most sound cards, the hardware feature is still there, just not enabled on the software side. Then under pressure from various organizations on the dark side of the force, Microsoft and soundcard makers starting disabling this wonderful feature from Windows Vista onwards. This allowed you to capture whatever was played to the speaker in all its digital glory. The video capture worked brilliantly, but to do a sound capture, I needed to do some hacking.Īpparently, there was this recording device called "Stereo Mixer" that was pretty standard in the Windows XP days. I was playing with CamStudio to do a video capture of a Flash-based cartoon so that I can put it on the WDTV media player and play it on the big screen in the living room for my kids. That means each map switch I am Alt-tabbing to fix my sound settings, they are not saving.This procedure worked for my laptop (Thinkpad E530) with a Conexant 20671 sound card, but I suspect it will work for other sound cards in the Conexant family. Each map, and lobby connect I have to alt-tab to revert the sound in the Volume Mixer back to a suitable level for both. This becomes even more annoying especially when playing a game such as Left4Dead and having Ventrilo running in the background. it shows a "Ghost"(translucent) bar where I have it set, but then a bar that is solid at a minimal setting of about 10% effectively muffling Windows Media Player and Ventrilo. I have set the Volume Mixer to give both the game and Ventrilo or the accompanying program I am using with for example Windows Media Player, and both get muffled and auto-reset back to a low volume setting. I have been trying to disable it due to the issues it causes when playing games and running Ventrilo at the same time, or multiple programs at the same time. Volume Mixer in Windows 7 is very very annoying.
