Motherboards with Stereo Mix ("What You Hear") enabled?

[Chris Wilson]

I want to update my Windows 7 PC but need a motherboard with Stereo Mix, sometimes called "What You Hear" available from the on board sound device. Can anyone suggest some current motherboards that DEFINITELY have this option and KNOW it works please? I will probably be using an Intel processor, nothing bang up to date state of the art, but better than my current i5 4670K processor. I do not game nor do I do anything graphics intensive. If it were to have a true serial port that would be excellent, but it WOULD need to accept a hardware level serial port card. Thanks.

Apparently Realteks should have some way to directly record their output mix.
Though looks to be more complex compared to Creative cards with recording their output easily available.

And especially if you're not gaming you'll get lot better bang per buck from AMD.
Though that CPU is still such good that would suggest waiting few months for release of Zen2 Ryzens.
Besides another push in processing power per money those can well take even that gaming crown from Intel.

OK, will await the new release, thanks very much for the insight, appreciated. The Realtek on board sound on this MB works fine for stereo mix and it's a lot more reliable for me than Virtual Audio Cables. I use it for piping an amateur radio software defined receiver to multiple digital applications. Thanks again.
