Hey out there,

I am having quite a hard time getting Stereo Mix to appear in my recording devices on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3.  The case is simple: I want Stereo Mix because I'm an audio editor and it's extremely useful in pulling audio cues from online.  I've tried these options so far:

• Showing disabled devices in the sound control panel (not there)
• Uninstalling the drivers (only to have them automatically reinstall upon reboot)
• Running the Realtek driver install wizard AND manually picking a Realtek driver to install (Stereo Mix appeared for a day or so and then disappeared)
• Downloading the latest drivers for the Surface Laptop 3 (nothing)

Any ideas?  I'd rather not pay $99.99 for tech support.

Thanks,

Alot of the time, laptops only have stero mics to help remove background noise but the audio can only be seen by the OS as mono, this is a hardware problem with lots of laptops, I sugest purchasing a proper sterio mic setup
