'Stereo mix" missing from Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series
I recently bought an Inspiron 15 3000 series laptop from Dell. The sound driver used in this laptop is 'Cirrus logic superior HD Audio'. I am trying to record audio coming from my Laptop speaker using Audacity. Even though I tried, windows WASAPI + Speakers (cirrus Logic) combination of settings in Audacity, it didn't work.I have windows 10 on my laptop
On investigation I found that my laptop does not have Stereo Mix as one of the Recording devices. Following is the screeshot
I tried to contact the Dell support but they were confused and didnt get any help. Could someone help me understand how to get Audacity record the sound from the speaker?
I figured out a way to record the system sound without stereo mix option in windows 10. I found this answer from audacity forum
- Close and restart Audacity (or just launch Audacity if it's not currently running).
- Set the "Project Rate" to 48000 (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window)
- Start playing some sound from your web browser.
- Click the Record button in Audacity
