I found a sound card driver upgrade via Windows Update. I am nervous about
installing the driver update. Does installing a sound card driver upgrade
cause speech to stop working during installation?

You should leave that item checked. Unchecking it means you will not see
the choice if the device is disabled. The setting, when on, does not
prevent you from seeing Stereo Mix. If you don't see it, it may mean that
you have to install the sound card driver from the manufacturer. Often,
computers come with the Microsoft driver for the sound card and the
Microsoft driver often doesn't support Stereo Mix. If you are already
using the latest driver from the manufacturer and still don't see the
option, then it may be that your sound card doesn't support that option
and finding one that does may be necessary. I use a USB sound card that
supports Stereo Mix. It's a Sound Blaster sound card. I don't know which
brands and models of USB sound cards support Stereo Mix in Windows 7. My
sound card is three or four years old and I don't know if that model is
made any longer. If you purchase a sound card, try to verify, before
purchase, whether it supports Stereo Mix and also purchase it from a store
with a good return policy. I've seen complaints about sound cards that
are supposed to support Stereo Mix in Windows 7 but the feature doesn't
work. You may have to try more than one sound card.
There may be software yyou can use that mimics Stereo Mix regardless of
the sound card being used. I don't know enough about that subject to
discuss it.
