Hi Aiden, you may well already be aware of the following, but I thought it was worth checking. The stereo mix input provided by the realtek chip allows you to record the audio output of the realtek chip. Are you sending any audio to the realtek speaker output? The usb headset is a different sound device, so any audio sent to your headphones won't be included in the realtek's stereo mix.
A number of recording programs would allow you to record the output of your headphones using wasapi loopback. David. original message: Well, I'm not sure what the content I record have to do with this, the point is when stereo mix is active, it should record what it can here. I am on a laptop with build in audio realtek and a USB headset. At one point it did pick up jaws at least but now its dead silent.
