    After installing the latest audio drivers for Windows 7 (thanks to BlackRussian) it looks like Stereo Mix support has arrived - see attached screenshot.

    I've done a quick test and it will pick up audio from multiple programs :D

    Hopefully the drivers will work in Vista too

    But, your chip is not Sigmatel?

    The M1530 uses a Sigmatel audio chip. IDT purchased Sigmatel. Sigmatel is now marketed as IDT. :)

    I don't knew this! Thanks.

    And, this driver is working fine to you? You can set 5.1 speakers?

    I kinda love you man (BenUK).
    The old Sigmatel driver wasn't working for me in Windows 7. I couldn't use the microphone line in at the front panel. Now IDT has done better job. Better control, more options and compatibilty.
    Once again Thank You.
    (I didn't knew that IDT bought Sigmatel)

    And BatBoy, you are making me hungry for your M17x. I will rob your HOUSE
    Stop teasing ! :D
