Hi Hank, you don't have to find the empty space. If you select any device and open its context menu, then the option show disabled devices will be on this context menu. If this option is not checked, then press enter whilst this is selected it to check the option.

At long last, I found a way to do this in Windows 7. I tried this and it works. I'd be curious to know if this works out for you guys: Recording what you hear in Windows 7 At first glance, it may look like Microsoft disabled recording of internal-or "what you hear"-sounds in Windows 7. Well, they didn't. It's a little trickier, granted, but this is (often) a quick fix. To enable it: 1. Right click on the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom right). 2. Choose Recording Devices 3. In the empty white space, right-click and choose Show Disabled Devices. You should see Stereo Mix appear in the list. 4. Right click on Stereo Mix and choose Enable. 5. Right click on Stereo Mix again, and choose Set as Default Device. Now you can record anything you hear through your speakers. If you don't have a program that can record audio, you can get a nice one called Audacity over here. (It's free!)
