Making it related to games. Yes, I have been using Vista for over half a year.
The real nice thing is that you can change the sound levels on everything. Set a level for Jaws and set one for a game. Have a different sound level for "SayTheTime" or Live Messager. This may not be what your looking for, since you only asked who uses Vista's Stereo Mix. Now to change any levels move your PC cursor to the system tray. Open Volume. Tab to Mix button This will open what you will be more use too. The volumes for each program that is running that has sound output is shown with volume, balance sliders and mute buttons. If you don't see the volume control in the tray that you what to change the sound on a game.... You may need to enable Stereo Mixer. To do this: Microsoft has lumped enabling and d things like Microphone and Stereo mixer under the Recording tab. This best thing I found is: Go to control panel.. Second open Sounds.*** Very Important once you open and are sitting in a combo box saying Speakers, ((Do not arrow down))). This will shut down all sounds including Jaws. I know from experience.If you have RealTech sound card that is. So when you ever get into this list box with Speakers being the first thing do not arrow below it. To see the name of your sound card under Speakers use your mouse. You can still change and test Speakers when it is selected by Tabbing away from the list box or by using the mouse to left click on Speakers. If anybody does arrow to far reboot. If sound does not return have a sight person help you get back to the list box so you can have them click on Speakers. OK to finish this up. To enable stereo Mix on Vista. Once you are on the list box and Speakers not selected Shift Tab. You will be on the Playback tab. arrow to the right to record. Tab down. You then will be in a list box on items you can enable or disable. Arrow down to Stereo Mix, left click. In the menu you will find if you can either enable or disable. If it says enable then that means it is disable. Hitting enter will change its status to what the menu item is. Final note. What I have found out about Vista that in this list box is where some sound cards will have a mix that was like the sound mix called "Every thing you hear". RealTech has not this option because they don't want you to record live streams. So, when you want to record playing a game with your narration, what is coming from your speakers is being recording off your microphone, which means it sounds like its in the background. I paid nearly 1200 bucks for my media computer and I get a sound card that can not do a full recording. And, and now I find that my TV Card sucks. I am able to hook my cable up to it, but the lower channels are coming in poorly. I had the cable man in and this is what we found out. So, it looks like I will need to buy a better sound card that allows recording of stereo mix with the mic at the same time and a better TV Card. Cable guy had a 30 dollar TV card and had the same problems. So that means I have a cheap TV card and will need to buy a higher price card to listen to the new show Terminator on my computer. Hope this helped you and others for gaming and TV listening. Smiles.
