To enable Stereo Mix on your PC and use it on Discord, you’ll need to follow these steps:
1. First, locate the Speaker icon on the taskbar, usually found at the bottom right corner of your screen. Click on it to open the sound settings.
2. In the sound settings, you’ll see several tabs at the top. Click on the “Recording” tab to access the recording devices.
3. In the recording tab, you may notice that some devices are hidden. To show all the available devices, right-click on an empty space within the tab. This will open a context menu.
4. In the context menu, make sure to enable both “Show Disconnected Devices” and “Show Disabled Devices” options. This will ensure that all devices, including Stereo Mix, are visible.
5. Once you have enabled these options, you should see the Stereo Mix device appear in the list of recording devices. Right-click on Stereo Mix and select “Enable” to activate it.
6. After enabling Stereo Mix, you may need to set it as the default recording device. To do this, right-click on Stereo Mix again and choose “Set as Default Device” from the menu.
7. Now that Stereo Mix is enabled and set as the default recording device, you can use it on Discord. Open Discord and go to the Voice & Video settings.
8. In the Voice & Video settings, scroll down to the “Input Device” section. You should see a drop-down menu that allows you to choose the input device. Select “Stereo Mix” from the list.
9. Once you have selected Stereo Mix as the input device, you can now use it on Discord. Any audio that is being played on your PC will be captured by Stereo Mix and transmitted through Discord.
10. Remember to adjust the input sensitivity settings in Discord to ensure that Stereo Mix picks up the audio properly. You can test it by playing some audio on your PC and checking if it is being transmitted through Discord.
By following these steps, you should be able to enable Stereo Mix on your PC and use it on Discord. This will allow you to share audio with others during voice chats or while streaming.
