@Rudy-Monroe Right Click on the speaker icon in the Windows Taskbar in the lower right corner then click on Sounds. The Windows Sound configuration window will open. Go to the Recording tab and look if your Stereo Mix device is listed there and if it is deactivated. Right click on it to acitvate it or to show deactivated devices in case it is missing.

If everything is there and activated maybe you need to allow Windows to record sounds https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-on-app-permissions-for-your-microphone-in-windows-10-94991183-f69d-b4cf-4679-c98ca45f577a

If Stereo Mix isn't listed look in the Windows Device Manager https://www.howtogeek.com/697936/5-ways-to-open-device-manager-on-windows-10/ under Audio Devices if your Conexant ISST Audio device is listed there. If not, you probably need to reinstall your audio drivers.
