Superb blog. most common issue.

good one..... looked for half hout and couldn't find it myselft

Thanks

Thanks!  That "issue" was making me crazy.

Thanks, fell victim to this poor design too. I fail to see why they didn't implement it like the device manager - disabled devices are shown by default.

I have been strugling for a while.Thanks so much :-)

Thank you!  Saved me lots of time and heartache!

What do I do when I have a headset that shows up as a headphone but not a microphone? I have checked "show disabled devices" but it's still not showing up. How do I get my computer to use my headset microphone instead of the built in microphone?

Thanks for the info. After going through your input, I managed to rectify what I have done wrong by mistake. Pls do keep up the good work.

I had disabled some devices In this way and it has caused so many problems thank you for the fix

Found this disabled Stereo MIx as I repaired my disabled Microphone from your directions. Now Mic works again, and there is no way to ever thank you enough for getting Stereo Mix back. It has been my biggest gripe about Windows since WIn XP. This is seriously great information. Thanks so much.

Thank you very much for this information. it saved my day.
