   Hi Paul,   
   Thanks for the help and advice. You don't have to find the diagram as I   
   believe you. This Stereo Mix stuff was simply new to me.   
      
   But I'm no audiophile.   
   o I just wanted to write a tutorial for others to capture streaming audio.   
      
   That tutorial would _start_ with the five setup steps on newer Windows 10:   
   1. We need to turn on app & desktop app access to the "microphone"   
   o Win+R > ms-settings:privacy-microphone ==> Microphone access = on/on   
      
   2. We need to ensure the audio driver can enable a "Stereo Mix" option   
   o Win+R > devmgmt.msc > Sound video & game controllers ==> Update driver   
      
   3. We then need to enable Stereo Mix in that Windows 10 audio driver:   
   o Win+R > mmsys.cpl > Recording > Stereo Mix ==> Enabled   
      
      
   4. We need to install Audacity & set the recording to "Stereo Mix"   
   o Audacity:Edit > Preferences > Devices > Recording ==> Stereo Mix   
      
   5. We need to also enable "loopback", which in my case is mechanical:   
   o Plug in any 1/8-inch male plug into the lime green LineOut connector   
      
   6. Then we can stream audio, capture it, and save it to an MP3 file.
