Download this driver and install in windows xp sp2 mode if you are using vista.

Works for sigmatel stac c-major 92xx

GOOD LUCK!

Worked on my dell inspiron 1520, i hope it will work for other machines too using the sigmatel vista

IF you have a different model sigmatel try installing other XP drivers using compatibility mode.

let me know if it works, spent hours finding the solution. I hate dell and all companies who did this for the greedy RIAA, shame on dell for siding with RIAA and not their customers may their profits burn for that.

Question from a newbie using a Dell 1520 - I am using Vista, how do I download it in "windows xp sp2 mode" ? Do you mean uninstall Vista and install Windows XP as the operating system?

Mevermind. I followed a google search and found this that explained it -
I tried it and now have "stereo mix" on my Dell inspiron 1520 With Vista!

------------------------------------------------------------------
Just thought I'd let you know that over on notebookforums, a really cool discovery has been made:

http://www.notebookforums.com/showth...169312&page=33

Basically, if you grab the XP drivers from:
http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=235761

Then use winrar or a similar program to expand the EXE archive to a folder. Go into the folder, find setup.exe and right-click it go to properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and select Windows XP compatibility and hit ok.

Then run that setup.exe, and after a few minutes, you're set! Don't even need to reboot.

I've tested it here, and stereo mix works perfectly under vista from this method.

Cheers!

Hey Numbernine dude, I've been trying to get Stereo Mix for over 2 days. I found all kinds of solutions that didn't help. I even lost my audio drivers once

. But, you gave me the perfect link here...It's awesome.

thanks,
Harsh.

I use Cowan's JetAudio Plus which has recording from stereo mix as an option, along with microphone, line-in...etc. Cowan also has a freeware version which does the stereo mix recording, but does not have all of the features as the Plus version. Here's the link:

what's up guys? i just started the stereo mix in vista quest tonight on my dell inspiron 1525.

i downloaded the xp driver for my sigmatel sound card and vista f'ing rejected it. it said "this is not the correct driver - now exiting."

i have no evidence to substantiate this, but this has to be a decision by dell in conjunction with the riaa. now i have to figure this out just so they don't win...

PEACE,
Tha D

THANK YOU. Seriously. Thank you. I've tried to find the solution to this horrendously annoying problem since I got my laptop earlier this month. This cleared it right up. Just had to remember to go enable stereo mix in the Recording Device options menu and make it the default recording device! Finally my shiny new laptop is complete.
