When will XPS 410 get Stereo Mix with Sigmatel Audio?

After 2 days trying I finally came up with a fairly painless way of doing this. Drawbacks are you lose 5.1 sound( only speaker jack in the back and front works and the mic input on the front works. Maybe someone could figure out how to get those operational.

It does however make Stereo Mix functional as well as the line input monitor.

I downloaded this driver pack from Dell.

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R171789&SystemID=XPS_M1710&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=8907&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=3&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=3&fileid=235761

Only thing I needed from there was The Stacapi.dll

I then copied it over to the recommended driver install from Dell.

I modified the setup.ini to read like this:

 I modified the INI thus:

You have to make sure you use the right INI but thats fairly east to find out. Good Luck.

In the last 5 years I have bought 3 pc's from dell. From now on I build the rest. I will NEVER buy another thing from them.
