Hi,
My experience with stereo mix/what you hear has been hit and miss. Some
drivers have it, some don't, and I have read of companies removing it on later
drivers on the ground that people might use it to record copy-protected
content. It's worth checking and worth, also, making sure that "show disabled
devices" and "show disconnected" devices, two options which can usually be
accessed by right-clicking in the recording devices dialog, are checked. This
can show stereo mix when it normally isn't shown. I think it's always
preferable to use what is built-in to the driver rather than things like
Virtual Audio Cable or an actual physical cable. If you're transferring speech,
though, even the DAC conversions in using a physical cable really aren't a big
deal.
HTH,
Aman

Okay my 2 cents worth again.
I’ve never seen a Windows PC without the Stereo Mix or What you hear option so
I’m actually wondering whether this option is more a Windows option rather than
a Sound Card Specific one?
I’ll go around all my PC’s later - will take some time as I have a few <smile>
- and see if stereo mix or what you hear comes up in all of them but certainly,
if this option is available then it would make perfect sense to make full use
of it regardless of what you choose to use as your recorder, Total Recorder
being my preference but if you like Gold Wave - which I love here too - then by
all means use it to capture from what you hear or the stereo mix.
