- Does Windows 7 have a Stereo Mixer control like in XP? I do not see it and can't find it. My Music software for recording live streaming music only records at extreme low level, beyond control of the software recorder and I can find no way to adjust the PC system sound level. The mic and Line In level control are available and OK.
