Newest XP SigmaTel 92XX drivers (with stereo mix) work on Vista!
Hey all,
Just thought I'd let you know that over on notebookforums, a really cool discovery has been made:
http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=169312&page=33
Basically, if you grab the XP drivers from:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R171789&SystemID=LATITUDE%20D620&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=8907&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=3&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=3&fileid=235761
Then use winrar or a similar program to expand the EXE archive to a folder. Go into the folder, find setup.exe and right-click it go to properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and select Windows XP compatibility and hit ok.
Then run that setup.exe, and after a few minutes, you're set! Don't even need to reboot.
I've tested it here, and stereo mix works perfectly under vista from this method.
Cheers!

I have yet to find a find a solution to this problem. freecoder works only part of the time , total recorder disables the microphone. and the sigmatel's xp driver disables themicrophone leaving me only with the microphone array which is good for nothing, dell and microsoft are EVIL.

XPS M1530 with Vista Sp1.
This problem resides with DRM and the drivers supplied to Dell by SigmaTel. There are two theories behind this;
First is Vista rejected the codecs due to a inccorrect signature, bombing the control.
Second, which is more wild, but in this day, plausable, SigmaTel got the pliers applied to them by RIAA, preventing them from enabling the option.
Dell's announcement on this issue is dated back to January with no updates so the latter is moreso.
The downgrade procedure worked on PROWL and I do have the COM error.
Someone is going to get punched in the mouth for this. My bet it'll be a RIAA rep.

I can't wait to get an update on this thread and hopefully an announcement from Dell about solution to the problem! I have not tried the download for fear it will mess up mic as well and I'm just not tech savy enough to be able to resolve issues simply. I guess I am stuck where I'm at!
Is there a possibility that an external sound card would resolve this issue temporarily for me until Dell gets an update ready. (If they ever do!)
Thanks!

RascallyRob,
Thanks a million for this thread ... it has been very helpful to a lot of folks who have to the Audio board looking for answers.
Can you (or anyone else) confirm that the Audio Advantage SRM External USB Sound Cardyou linked to has stereo mix (or wave out or whatuhear etc) in Vista? I couldn't find that information on their site.
