Hello Muz_1234. This is an interesting question that I do not believe has come up before. You have XP, correct? I think there is a setting in Vista for "listen to this device"  or "input monitor" but not in XP.  I don't have a way for you to modify the Windows registry to do that either.

The optional mic array is controlled by the optional web cam. The software that controls the webcam is Dell Webcam Center (or Webcam Central). You might look in that program for an option to monitor the mic array. I do not have the program so I cannot look into it.

To start Webcam Central:

   1. Click Start
   2. Click All Programs
   3. Click the Dell Webcam
   4. Click Webcam Central to start the program.

To start Webcam Center

   1. Click Start.
   2. Click either All Programs or Programs.
   3. Click the Dell Webcam folder, then click the Dell Webcam Manager icon to open it.
   4. In the Dell Webcam Manager, click the Dell Webcam Center.

Sorry that I cannot give you a better answer.

using vista, but installed and updated with R171789, sake of enable stereo mix.

In  Vista, when you open the Playback tab of the Sound properties and click on Speaker/Headphones' properties do you have an Input Monitor setting there under Levels?

If not, how about on the Recording tab, select Internal Mic>Properties. Is there a Listen to this Device option there?

yes i have input monitor under levels, but there is no listen tab.

I don't know a way if you can't do it in the Sound properties or the webcam software.

hmmm

Hi Muz_1234,

Hi Muz_1234,

I’d advise that you uninstall and reinstall the audio drivers and the microphone drivers from your system check for the issue resolution .Please refer to the links below for downloading the drivers.

tried installing R160671, there's still no listen tab, and stereo mix has gone.

Hi Muz_1234,

I’d advise that you uninstall and reinstall both audio drivers and the microphone drivers again on your system. Please refer to the download links from the previous post
