Windows 10: issue mic is getting into stereo mix

This is the question: i mute my mic to record only the stereo mix, and mic still working on it, like it still recording. what is going on here?

:)

 

Stereo mix for mic audio or something else - help please

so my issue is that i am trying to use my android phone as a webcam and stream the audio and video from this, I am streaming free music to help people stay safe at home.

I am using OBS and IVCAM to set up the phone as a webcam

However in order to use the mic from the phone to capture the music and stream it Ive been told to use Stereo mix for windows 10.

I have a Toshiba laptop and it is not listed as 1 of the recording devices in there.

So my questions are :

how and where do i install stereo mix from?
is there a better way to do this than i am describing?
should i use the latest realtek drivers listed in the top of this page?

TIA Bart

Try the following steps to enable the stereo mix and check if that help.

This should enable the “Stereo Mix” on Windows
