Stereo Mixing

Observe the items in the list grow. Scroll down till you find the “Stereo Mix” option. Right click it and enable it!

If you do not see "Stereo-Mix" when doing the above then you need to install your Drivers from the sound card manufacture website.
Microsoft made it so "Stereo-Mix" will not work so to get this install the drivers from your sound card manufacture website.

Creative Lab Sound Blaster users may see "What U Hear" instead of "Stereo-Mix"

Windows: Alternate Method

On some systems, stereo mix or "What U Hear" will not appear as an option. If this is the case on your system, you may try connecting a small cable between the line out and line in on your sound card. This effectively sends the audio that you "would" be hearing, and sends it back in to be broadcast.
