There was much flurry about Microsoft's disapproval to record from WaveMix input in its newer Windows versions. Well at the first sight it seemed the same to me. so how do I record now? With a little cut and try I got it done.  Actually in Windows Vista as well as Windows 7, the WaveMix or SteroMix are disabled by default. When you check the sound panel you see the devices are disabled. You can get out of this with a simple hack.

I'll share the hack with you. Here are the steps you do to activate the recording device

Step 1

Right click on the speaker icon. Now look for the Recording Devices and select it.

Step 2

Now right click and select the option Show Disabled Devices

Step 3

Select the Wave Out Mix device and Enable it. Click on Set as Default Device and open up the Audacity.

So you are done.Now enjoy recording whatever you like.
