Hi! =) I have been trying to record audio from my speakers but have found that there is no stereo mix checkbox nor is there even a recording option in the master volume control for my mixer device:



Realtek HD audio rear output is what I'm currently using, I have tried upgrading to Realtek AC 97 but it does not appear when I restart my computer. Any suggestions on how to properly install the AC 97 driver or get the recording option to appear in the master volume control properties menu?

Thanks ^^
