Hi Justin,
direct sound isn't the same as wasapi. If the latter isn't available, this
probably means you're using an old version of Audacity. If you install the
current version, 2.0.5, you should be able to use it.
David.

David,
I don't have a wasapi host option.
I have mme or windows direct sound.
If I select windows direct sound and select primary sound capture
driver as the recording device I get the same noise cancellation
effect as if I were using stereo mix.
Is windows direct sound the same as wasapi?
