This balance is difficult to get right. There are so many sliders. But it must be done for the good of video tutorials!

Here's the "recipe" I currently use and will come back here to remind myself of:

Go to Volume tab.
Set "Device volume" to 5 (the leftmost is 0).
Go to Audio tab.
Under "Sound recording", click "Volume".
In the Recording Control window that comes up, set Recording (on the left) to 2 (slider should be notched exactly in the middle).

REMEMBER TO TURN THIS ON!!!! —> In Mixer tab, Stereo Mix (in the Record section towards the bottom-right should be enabled to record in "What U Hear" mode, including UI sounds.
