I couldn't get it to work on my new computer either. I have the same soundcard and stereo mix and microphone wouldn't work together. If I disable microphone I can't hear it, and if I set stereo mix as the default I only hear sounds from programs and jaws. I tested this with sound recorder. The guys at circuit city said I didn't need a sound blaster gamer card that I had the best card already, but it wont let me record a game with narration on top of it either. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 3:01 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] stereo mix on vista.
