Stereo Mix in DELL INSPIRON 17

Reddy, if it a 1750 with an IDT audio driver you might not be able to get it on that model. If it is a 1720 or 1721 with Vista  and a Sigmatel audio driver try this:

1. Delete the Vista driver. (Uninstall and choose the option to delete the files.)

2. Download the Sigmatel R171789  audio driver. This is an XP driver.

3. Unzip the folder but cancel the installation.

4. Go to the expanded folder and right click on the setup.exe file. Click the compatibility tab and select XP(SP2) Compatibility Mode.

5. Double click on the setup file to install. When you go into the audio properties you should have Stereo Mix.

 So far this is reported to work on

Inspiron E1505/6400,1520, 1720 and 1721
Latitude D620 and D630
Vostro 1400 and 1500
XPS M1330, M1530 and M2010

Forum member mom2mac posted that this also worked with an M1530 running Windows 7. She used the compatibility mode for XP SP3.  -- tip posted 8-8-09
