I recently build my father a computer with a Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 motherboard (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-401-GI) one of his main requirements was to be able to record from his computer, i.e. record online radio programs, as he use to do this on his old computer without a problem.

I cannot find any way to do this on his computer, I got it working on my computer by going to control panel-->sound->manage audio devices and then showing disabled devices and enabling the "Stereo Mix" option. Unfortunately his does not have this option.

So my question is does anyone have any idea how I can get this working if it possible or could anyone recommend a cheap sound card that would enable him to do.

He is running. Windows 8

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Yes I am trying to use audacity but cant find even find a "Stereo mix" option on his computer even when I show disabled or hidden devices in control panel.
 
You can use the wave option.

I don't think all sound cards have this facility, especially with Windows 8 or even Win 7.

I wouldn't mind betting if you used Win XP it would prolly work, however, the link below might be of help, but only with Creative cards I'm afraid.

If anyone can drop across a similar link to Asus cards this would be of great help.
 
Thinking about it, even with a compatible Creative card. Before you can Record what you hear, you need to do the following

R/click on the speaker by the clock go to the recording device tabb followed by R / clicking on Record what you hear & set this device as the default option.

I dunno, but I guess you have to do the same with Asus cards but the record what you hear will be replaced by either stereo mix, or the wave option.
