1. Click on 'Product Support'
2. Click on 'Device Driver'
3. Select 'Notebook' from the dropdown list under 'Product'
4. Select 'Windows XP' under 'Operating System'
5. Type 'Sigmatel' into the subject box.
6. Click 'search.'
The driver to choose is labelled Ver 5.10.04866 XNOTE(LE50)
(This driver is known to work on at least some of the Inspirons with the 92xx chip. This driver was discovered by dhkang002.)
B.) Another way is to make modifications to the .inf files in Dell's Sigmatel 92xx driver. This solution is discussed in a thread at notebookforums.com, but the thread itself is quite long and confusing. One of our forum members,New Hope editor, has written a set of instructions and a link for implementing the .inf file replacement. Following these instructions will result in a driver that has the stereo mix function plus many other improvements, but it is a more difficult solution than just installing the LG driver.
This installs an additional audio driver that captures audio and allows for recording sources such as streaming audio that isn't possible with the Dell's Sigmatel driver. It doesn't record everything that 'stereo mix' does, though. You can download a demo of it and if it works for you it costs $11.95 to buy.

C.) There is some software called Total Recorder. (This tip was supplied by Kalleralle.)
