Dell disables the Stereo Mix



I have seen multiple reports of Dell disabling the stereo mix option or the wave option for recording. People who are attempting to record Skype conversations and such are finding that it will not work.

The reason it has been disabled apparently is because the RIAA has requested it to be disabled to prevent piracy and Dell has programmed their drivers to do so. I personally don't agree to these terms and I won't get into how disappointed I am with Dell.

Anyway, the link below will lead you to a resolution to the problem. I personally don't have a Dell system so I can't verify the functionality of the fix.
