Dell Disables the Stereo Mix

I have seen multiple reports of Dell disabling the stereo mix option or the wave option for recording. People who are attempting to record Skype conversations and such are finding that it will not work.

The reason it has been disabled apparently is because the RIAA has requested it to be disabled to prevent piracy and Dell has programmed their drivers to do so. I personally don’t agree to these terms and I won’t get into how disappointed I am with Dell.

Anyway, the link below will lead you to a resolution to the problem. I personally don’t have a Dell system so I can’t verify the functionality of the fix.

Who: My name is Charlie. I grew up in Morgan Hill, but I live in San Jose. I am currently employed as a Computer Technician, with knowledge in Data Recovery. I am currently working on various projects which include Learning Linux/Bash, Re-learning C and other various languages, and whatever else time allows. My hobbies include researching tech news and information as well as working on computer geeky stuff.

I’m a Technician, Dad, Husband, Adventurer Extraordinaire, High Overlord, Social Media Weirdo… and nachos for all!

What: This is something I started to help channel the knowledge of things that I am learning or have learned. I hope it will become a location to help others locate certain tips and avoid downfalls I have had in the many projects I am interested in. Also post my opinion on certain things. I am not a great writer, but when I do have something to say, you will see it.

Why: I have used resources published by others to help me in various projects. I just want to return the knowledge and help make things more refined.

How: Defective Kit was a term I heard while my daughters were watching TV. Someone had a ‘detective kit’ and her brother said ‘Look at her defective kit’. Found it rather witty.

this is my defective kit.

it’s not broken.
