"What you hear" no longer available in Vista??

Problem solved. A driver update (Conexant High-Definition Audio) from HP fixed the problem.

I never thought of checking that. Automatic HP updates were disabled because system performance was occasionally slow as a glacier after waking up. Likewise for Windows updates, but at least those were manually checked periodically.

Steve, thank you for all your replies and the info on Linux.

I feel so much better. Not only is Audacity now working as before, but it shows that Microsoft did not deliberately disable this feature.

For you this time.

If you move up to Win7, you may find yourself using special software instead of the missing Stereo-Mix. Recording internal sounds and music gets in the way of business communication and conferencing and that's what these machines are used for now. So Microsoft has been leaving out the self-recording tools.

You're right. I tried Audacity on my Windows 7 PC at work and could not get the Stereo-Mix option.

I've used Replay Media Catcher to record audio before I got the driver issue resolved. It worked well. Looks like I'll have to use it on Win 7.
