Any audio you hear will be muted, but the real moment of truth is if you see green moving in the meter IвЂ™ve highlighted above. When you go to the playback tab, click on вЂњCABLE inputвЂќ and set it as default as well. YouвЂ™ll see the green tick mark move from a different icon to the CABLE output.

#STEREO MIX WITH USB HEADSET 32 BIT#

This package comes with a 32 bit installer and a 64 bit installer. Download and unzip the contents somewhere convenient on your computer. VB-Audio Virtual Cable can be found on the VB-Audio website. There are plenty of virtual cable solutions out there like Virtual Audio Cable (VAC), but I chose VB-Audio Virtual Cable on this one as a free alternative.Дownload and install VB-Audio Virtual Cable This method completely bypasses the need to record from something like Stereo Mix. If you are unable to get Stereo Mix working (after enabling it, after temporarily disabling all other devices, after plugging in analogue speakers/headsets/earbuds to the audio jack, and even after removing a USB headset), there is an alternative method of getting audio recorded as you hear it without buying additional hardware (namely a cord that connects to both the headset jack and microphone jack). Realtek, apparently, is notorious for causing problems recording audio as you hear it. It is possible to record the audio as you hear it through Audacity, but for some hardware set-ups, things like Stereo Mix remain persistently muted even after extensive troubleshooting. Unfortunately, time shifting can be a problem. Streaming content is a well-used method to share media.
