The feature also functions in Windows 7, 8, and 10, and helps make up for the lack of a Stereo Mix option on modern Windows PCs. This method takes advantage of a feature that Microsoft added in Windows Vista named the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI). In fact, Audacity’s feature may be even better than Stereo Mix, assuming you’re willing to use Audacity to record the audio. Audacity has a useful feature that can record the audio coming out of your computer-even without Stereo Mix. Option 2: Audacity’s WASAPI Loopbackĭon’t have a Stereo Mix option? No problem. It’s unfortunately become less and less common.
There may be a way to enable it with different audio drivers, but not every piece of sound hardware supports Stereo Mix. On some devices, you may not have this option at all.
