Missing Audio Options in Vista and Server 2008

If like me you just installed Vista or in my case Server 2008 64 bit (which is Vista) and you use things like CamTasia or any other screen capturing app and find that you can't record media player because the sound isn't working then this may help you.

Check your control Panel / Sound



Right click and select "Show Disabled Devices"



Now disable your Mic device and enable Mixer.

Now when you run CamTasia or your capture app you will get the sound. When you are done you can reverse the process to put things how they were.
