Whatever this 'Stereo Mix' thing is, the Intel NUC is detecting it as some sort of microphone or audio input device, because when I use Windows 10's default Voice Recorder application, it successfully records whatever music I'm currently listening to on the headset:Īnd then when I disable the 'Stereo Mix', the system does not detect my Headset Boom Mic: However, when I go to the Recording screen, with the Headset's boom mic plugged in correctly, all I see is this: I have tested the Headset and it is properly receiving the NUC's stereo audio output.
I have to manually click the Speaker icon in the taskbar, and this what I see in the Playback Devices & Recording Devices menus: When I plug in my headset, which is this model, I do not get any Realtek Audio Manager pop-up window.
I have used the Intel automatic driver assistant and can confirm that my Realtek High Definition Audio drivers are up-to-date (6., Release date: January 18, 2017, Size: 380 MB). What can I do to get my Intel NUC 6i7KYK Skull Canyon, running Windows 10 (Home), to detect my gaming headset's microphone audio input?
