Stereo Mix Missing.

Hi Sakura! I hope you are well. My name is, Zadee. I'll try my best to help you today.

May I ask for your system info, for now, please?

1. On your keyboard, press Windows + R
2. Type: msinfo32 (Press Enter)
3. Take a screenshot of the System Information, please make sure to get the System Model, Baseboard Manufacturer, Baseboard Product, and BIO Version/Date.
4. Then upload it here by dragging and dropping the image to your reply

Thank you.

Thank you, can't seem to manually search your device model. We need this accurate so we won't download the wrong driver for your laptop. I suggest letting HP's website detect your device here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/detect

Once detected, please go to the driver section and look for the audio driver. Download it.

Once downloaded, please follow the steps below:

1. Win + R to open the run box
2. Type: devmgmt.msc <Enter>
3. Look for "Sound, video, and game controllers" and then expand it by clicking the ">" on the left
4. Right-click each driver and select "Uninstall". Do it to all drivers you see under it
5. Install the audio driver you downloaded from HP's website
6. Restart the computer

Let me know how that goes. Thank you.

After download 6.0.9018.1 Rev.B and install, a error window popped up.

It looks like the installation was unsuccessful.

Can you post the serial number of the device, please? It should show you the SN number once the site auto-detects the device.

Ok, so I've reexamined your query, this is probably not related to your sound driver at all but some limitations with the app you are using. It is important to note that the microphone captures only your voice and not the sound from the computer or the app you are using, there is a setting that you can turn on in Discord that allows you to do this. Please see this vid guide below. Thank you.

Thank you for your video, and I just finished watch it.

I want to be able to play only the computer's sound to other people.

As description in the video, other people can hear the sound only when I share the specific window when that window making sound(like playing a movie), and I hope that when I share other windows, they can still hear the sound from the window(the window that making sound) . Also sometimes I wish I could just play my computer's sound to my friend instead of my microphone.

At present, the only way I can share the screen and record the sound at the same time is to use the OBS software, and that must be done with the help of a stream website like Twitch. So I want to achieve the same without using OBS and stream website.

The result of my search through website is that I need to set up my "Stereo Mix" because it can be record the sounds from computer itself. However this is not in my recording setting for some reason, but it look seems it should come with the system.

Perhaps that feature is just hidden under the recording tab, please see this short video tutorial below, this includes how to show the possibly hidden stereo mix feature and also explains what Stereo Mix is.

Thanks for the video, explaining my previous misunderstanding.

However, there is still no Stereo Mix in my recording, which is why I suspect the problem is the driver or hardware. When I searched on the website, it seems that almost all computers have it, but mine doesn't, which is strange.

After check mark the "Show Disabled Devices", the Stereo Mix still not here.

I see. Perhaps this is a compatibility problem. The drivers for your device are designed to properly work with Win 10 and now you are using Win 11, which may have something to do with the stereo mix not showing up.

I can't think of anything else that could cause this issue, sorry for dragging your this far without a solution. Perhaps other members of the community have other useful inputs. Thanks for letting me try to help you.

I wish you the best.
