I haven't updated a sound card driver. I would suggest, having sighted
help available in case you have unexpected problems. I'm not saying the
sighted person needs to be present, but the person should be conveniently
on call. Or, as an alternative, you can purchase a cheap USB sound card,
perhaps for ten dollars or less, and use it while you update the driver
for the other sound card. If you have USB headphones, you can use those
for sound during the update.
However, I very much doubt that using the Windows Update feature will give
you a driver that supports Stereo Mix. You are updating the Microsoft
Driver and no version of the Microsoft Driver is likely to support Stereo
Mix, which is why I said to get the manufacturer's driver.
