How do I fix this audio problem in windows 10?

[Disability Claim]

I'm trying to play music/sound files in my game I have (Team Fortress 2) and I've been trying to get the "Stereo mix" to work in windows 10 to use to record sound from the speakers. It does not even appear in the list of recording devices even with the Show "Disabled/Disconnected devices" either. I tried installing the Realtek audio codecs but the system does not even recognize the install. How can I get it so I can record sound from my speakers?

Does SLAM (Source Live Audio Mixer) or HLDJ (Half-life dj) even work with tf2 (Team Fortress 2) anymore?

Also I'm not sure where I should have posted this in the right forum. Feel free to move it to the correct forum if needed.

You should make sure your soundcard is actually Realtek
What motherboard do you have?

LENOVO (LGA 775) - It's an older model.
Chipset Vendor Intel
Chipset Model Q45/Q43

Older models do not support Stereo Mix, thats why its not showing up.

I'm pretty sure it can be fixed maybe i need to get someone to remote tech support to fix it.

You arent understanding
Laptops that old did not support Stereo Mix
Stereo Mix is part of the soundcards capabilities, if it isnt showing even after installing the latest soundcard driver that means it is not supported.

It's not a laptop its a workstation with ddr3 ram intel core 2 duo.
Also for others: Horse lover.

You just made my point
Its a 775 Core 2 system
whether its a laptop or not makes no difference
Stereo Mix support didnt become available until Vista or Windows 7 era of hardware

The FACT it is not showing up with the latest soundcard drivers is proof enough that system does not support it

It's windows 10... and it does matter because as gaming machine is not a laptop. Gaming on a laptop. Funny.

Dude...
Win10 was not available when that system was released
Its a WinXP or Vista original PC at the latest
You using Win10 with it does not matter, the HARDWARE is what needs to support it and that age of motherboard/soundcard does not support it

It came with windows 10...I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't a windows 10 machine...

It does matter, its like saying windows 95 is the same as windows 10

Anyway if anyone else has an answer for this question please feel free to post.

Buddy
REALLY trying to be understanding as you arent familiar with these things

Look up when your CPU was released
That PC is OVER 10 years old if not older
Just because it has a new OS does not make it any less old
That system does NOT support Stereo Mix due to how old it is

And it being a Lenovo motherboard does not helo it any

Read this

I Still Don’t See It…
In some cases, your audio chipset drivers aren’t helping your cause. Most likely, this is because they’re outdated. In other instances, however, it’s because the newest Windows drivers for your chipset don’t support this feature. This was the case on my Asus Eee PC (a 1000HE), but I got around the issue by downloading and installing the older Windows XP/Vista drivers for my audio chipset. As always, before changing your drivers, make sure create a system restore point in case things don’t go as planned.

If you are installing the latest Realtek driver from their website and it still does not show up then its as i said, it isnt supported on that board.

Stereo Mix actually has to be supported by the Soundcard, the OS being new is irrelevant.

Yes its for a HP system but the problem is still the same

HP support had the OP do everything youve done, install the latest soundcard driver etc, in the end this is what the OP said after doing all the troubleshooting

Ok, my sound card doesn’t support the feature "Stereo Mix""

And its the same thing for you
