So I need to do some audio recording, and I need to record what is actually coming through my headphones/speakers... essentially whatever sounds are on my computer.. you get the idea. I used to do it on XP no problem, just switch the recording device to the same as your default playback and you're set. However, I can't seem to do this on Vista.

For recording, the only two things I see are my microphone and a Stereo Mix. When I go into my speaker's settings, there is no option to set it to record. I've also set it so I can see the disabled devices in the Recording section, as many suggest to do to get around this problem. But unlike them, I don't have a bunch of new settings that pop up (line in, line out, mux thingys, etc). It's just the mic and stereo mix. When i set the stereo mix to default recording device, it still just uses the microphone.

I also unistalled the driver that was installed (came installed from factory) and reinstalled a new one, but it didn't fix anything. Not sure what the actual model of the sound in my laptop is, but I know its Realtek High Def. Audio. Im running Windows Vista Home Premium.

Any help is appreciated, just need to get this fixed ASAP. Thanks.
