It turns out I have the stereo mix option and was able to enable it using the article.
I'm still deciding what to do about VAC as my headset only has a physical switch for muting and unmuting.
Or did you mean it has a software control for doing this?It is just a logitech headset and did come with some software that I never touch.
This page lets you purchase VAC for $25 with no technical support, $35 with some, and $50 with full.
https://secure.avangate.com/order/product.php?PRODS=1943611&QTY=1&LANG=en$25 is more reasonable for me. And I have you for technical support, right? Smile.
There is also VB-Cable which is a DonationWare alternative to VAC. http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htmIt sounds a little less feature full, but perhaps it works for the basic scenario of recording your mic along with the stereo mix stuff.
Thanks for the help so far. It's a more complicated endeavor than I first thought.
