I wanted to record a sound using my work computer which is a Dell Precision T3500 refurbished machine. I knew I was going to need to enable the “stereo mix” driver to do this. Often this driver is disabled and you have to go into the Sound >> Recording, right-click in the blank area and check “show disabled devices” and it shows up. Mine did not.

I solved this issue by going to Dell, putting in my service tag number, and downloaded the basic driver. The driver turned out to be the SoundMax driver. That solved the whole issue.

Let us know if this helped you…
