I’m using Windows Vista and I have no sound in my Xfire recorded videos. I’m unable to select my recording device. How do I fix this?
By default, Windows Vista disables and hides all sound recording devices. To enable Stereo Mix (or another recording device) in Windows Vista: • Go to your ‘Control Panel’. • Double click ‘Sound’. • Click the recording tab. • Right click on the white background of the tab and click ‘show disabled devices’. • Right click on the device that is on the list and click enable. • You should now be able to select this device for recording in both Windows Vista and Xfire. You’ll need to go to Tools | Options | Video tab in Xfire and select the newly enabled device under ‘Audio Device’. The audio coming through that device will now be recorded in your videos. You should also be aware that if you are using a headset and your sound is coming through the headset, you must select your headset on the ‘Audio Device’ dropdown in Xfire. You cannot record from both your soundcard and your headset at the same time.
