Windows 7 Stereo Mix

[OctAvio2011]

I am using realtek audio controller in windows 7. It may be useful to record any audio stream from PC simultaneously. For example when i make a screencast, I will probably need to simultaneously record the microphone and all the sounds from the PC. This can serve many other things as a recording Skype audio conversations or Live Messenger, record the sound of an audio file even if protected by DRM, record music from a streaming site ) by default option. But I found that stereo mix option is disable on Windows Seven. Please help.
