    Thanks for the video. Another way to do it in Audacity or Better Audio Editor:
    1- Change the sound driver to WASAPI (Left top corner of Audacity or Better Audio Editor)
    2- Change the input driver to Speaker (High Definition Audio Device)
    3- Select desired Mono or Stereo track (between Input & output options at the top)
    4- Now its ready to record what ever audio you play on your PC

    So I see people can't get it to record, I think I found out why at least for me. If you are using a monitor with HDMI and it has speakers or speakers plugged into it for sound. Your PC is not using the back Audio out or Front Speaker jack (The Green one in the back) so I just plugged in a headset and made sure my sound was coming from there and it seemed to record fine. as far as I can tell HDMI Audio is not used in Stereo Mix only you PCs audio jacks. Hope this helps at least a few people

    Beware though, this makes an echo sound, in a sense. if I go over 10% volume through windows volume manager, every output has echo sound. Make it 50%, and it makes super loud echo effect. Disabling it back helped. Already thought my speakers are broken

    Or just use Goldwave where it just works out of the box and you don't have to mess around with your system. Chances are that after you make these changes, you experience weird behavior in all your other programs. I can't believe how audacity is struggeling with this super plain basic function. I mean, that is the main purpose of this tool and it doesn't even get it right.
