WOW PIERRE!!!!!!

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!
I HAVE SIGMATEL TOO, I HAVE CONTACT THEM AND MICROSOFT AND EVEN GATEWAY.
SPENT HOURS IN TOTALITY JUST TO FIND HOW THE HECK TO ENABLE STEREO MIX OPTION
- WELL JUST AS YOU SAID, WHY IN 2007 WITH HIGH TECH AND EVERYTHING SOME CARDS
ARE LACK OF STEREO OPTIONS, CAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT VISTA ITSELF, BUT THE
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SOUND CARDS.

EVEN THOU SOME PEOPLE HERE WERE ABLE TO ENABLE THIS OPTION, CONGRATULATIONS
BY THE WAY, WE WHO HAVE SPENT $$$$ ON NEW PC WITH THE SOUND CARD SIGMATEL
HAVE TO SIT AND SUFFER.

ANNNNDDDDDDDDDD YES!!! SOME COPYRIGHTS ISSUES ARE ALSO INVOLVED - THEY KNOW
WE CAN RECEORD AUDIO FROM LIVE RADIO AND REEORD ANY LIVE CONCERT OR ANY PHONE
LINE CONVERSATION OR WHATEVER IS GOING THROUGH YOUR PC. THEY ARE LIMITING US
TO MAKE US SPEND MORE AND MORE $$$$$ EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY SPENT $860 ON A
BRAND NEW T5226 DESKTOP PC WITH VISTA PREMIUM, INTEL VIDEO CARD, PENTIUM D
925 DUAL CORE 3.GHZ, 1 GIGARAM, WHICH WINDOWS WHEN BOOTED ALREADY CONSUMES
MORE THAN 512, AND WITH THE ANTIVIURS AND OTHER DEFAULT RUNNING PROGRAMS,
WHEN MY COMPUTER IS IDLE, ALREADY IS CONSUMING MORE THAN 70% OF RAM MEMORY -
THIS SUCKSSSs!!!!!!!!!!!

SO ALL THIS IS A WAY OF CONTROL - IF YOU WANT SOME FEATURES YOU HAVE TO
$$$$$$$$$ PAAYYYYYYYY MORE AND MORE, AND THEY MAKE HOW MUCH, 10 MILLION
DOLARS A DAY , SHT!!!!!!!!!

WITHOUT THESE OPTIONS I CANT RECORD ANY VIDEO SHOW WITH AUDIO ON A SREAM
PLAYER, COME ON MICROSOFT - COMPATIBILITY ISSUES? COME ON!!!!!!!!

AAHAA YEAH RIGHT!, MMJUMM
